Matthew May, 3, was found scalded and beaten to death in Ocala, Fla., on Friday. His mother’s boyfriend, former Seymour resident Charles Edward Reed, hanged himself in his jail cell Saturday after being arrested and charged with first-degree murder and aggravated child abuse.
Too good for him.
First-degree murder over third-degree burns? If this guy was the guilty party, then it sounds like all ended well. I hope it doesn't upset the "life-at-all-costs" crowd, but I just can't see stopping a person from offing himself if he wants. The whole "denied the State the right to exact its own justice" claim doesn't really fly with me.
"A former Seymour man who was charged with murdering the 3-year-old son of his girlfriend killed himself in his Florida jail cell Saturday, authorities said."
Excellent. This sort of thing is always welcome news.
I would like to see thousands upon thousands of other violent criminals follow Reed's lead.
This should be an option for all rapists, murders, pedophiles, etc. We can install a do-it-yourself hanging room in all our prisons. The inmates can always know when life gets too tough in the lock-up, they can trundle off to the hanging room and remove themselves from the face of the earth. Prisoners should have options. Who says I'm not pro-choice? This would have the added benefit of saving us taxpayers quite a lot of money.
Longbow
What kind of a "mother" takes up with a creep like that?
