False pregnancy rumor led boy, then 13, to kill 14-year-old girl, authorities say

CANTON — A 14-year-old boy killed a teen girl execution style because he apparently believed a false rumor she was pregnant and thought he was the father, according to prosecutors.

Isiah Lynch pleaded true — the juvenile equivalent of guilty —Wednesday to a murder charge for the March fatal shooting of 14-year-old Sylvia McGee.

Lynch was 13 at the time of McGee’s death.

Following a plea hearing in juvenile court, Assistant Prosecutor Michelle Cordova said Lynch told police he believed McGee was pregnant.

“That is what I believe got this whole thing started,” she said, noting McGee was not his girlfriend. “There was no evidence of any other reason for this.”

Cordova said the girl had not been pregnant, citing the results of McGee’s autopsy.

Lynch also pleaded true to obstructing justice for giving false and misleading information to police and an accompanying gun specification.

He is scheduled to be sentenced Jan. 7. Stark County Family Court Judge Rosemarie Hall is presiding over the case.

Several of the victim’s family members attended the plea hearing.

Carlina Hanley, McGee’s great aunt, reacted afterward.

“It’s still not closure,” she said, her voice breaking. ”(Lynch) should have just admitted it from the beginning.

“She didn’t deserve that,” Hanley said. “She wasn’t that type of a kid. She was upbeat and funny. I just can’t believe that he did that.”

Tears streamed down her cheeks as she recalled a teen who often confided in her and sought advice.

Hanley remembers a bright spirit; a girl who helped others, making sure her grandmother took her medicine.

McGee had improved her grades and aspired to be a beautician.

“She talked about owning her own business,” Hanley said. “She talked about moving to New York and taking her maternal grandmother with her.

The girl I liked was like an angel. I was so scared of her, I wouldn’t have thought of kissing her. It would have been like defacing a cathedral.

Because the music you listened to and watched did not portray girls as sluts and whores and golddiggers who need to be beat up and controled.

I don’t believe this is the right person. First, the Twitter account these photos came from are listed as “Isaiah Lynch”, not “Isiah Lynch” and, secondly, the photos appear to have been posted in December, 2012, so if he looked like this in 2012 and is 14 years old today, then this is how he looked at age 7 or 8.

Best to have this post deleted than leave Free Republic legally liable.

I sure hope Dr. Jocelyn Elders is happy with this outcome, or at least not surprised by it.

Children in This Town

Children in this town, Children in this town

We cross the streets until dawn,
Haunted souls in the darkness of the night,
The moon is lighting up the cold town,
The longing is giving us endless strength.

We’re the angels of the night
We’re the children in this town
And until the dawn
We can feel the heartbeat of this town

We’re scared, just as you are
We feel the pain just the way you do
We want to live just as you do
But we can’t live, not the way you do.

Sorry, I think the victims family should decide punishment. Pop a 9mm in the back of that rodent head and be done with it.

He’s probably not the sharpest tool in the shed and thought she could be pregnant because he touched her.

A co-defendant, Michael J. Boykins, 14, recently pleaded true to tampering with evidence. A complicity to aggravated murder charge had been reduced.

Maybe, but the upside is that at least he won’t get pregnant.

I hate to break it to you but this weeks episode go "The Blacklist" they had men getting pregnant. It only required a womb transplant and a fertilized egg. Perverts wet dream.

Soon I will be relegated to YouTube land, I refuse to watch Social Justice themed shows controlled by woke morons.

No alleged to it. She was pregnant - before 9 weeks - but still pregnant. His trial will be up in the coming year for her murder.
