Teacher dies from beating Oct 30, 2005, 07:44 PM
WAFF 48 News has learned the teacher who was brutally beaten at Valley school has died.
The attack happened Wednesday inside the Lawrence County Family Education building in Moulton.
Doctors say Judy Jester's condition worsened and she never regained consciousness.
She died Sunday afternoon at Huntsville Hospital.
Jester was a first grade teacher at Hatton Elementary School.
She was found bleeding and unconscious inside the Lawrence County Family Education building in Moulton Wednesday night.
Investigators say the she had been beaten several times in the head and face.
Jester suffered a fractured skull and a brain stroke.
A 15-year old is accused of attacking her.
The unidentified teenager is being held at a detention center in Lauderdale County.
Police believe robbery may have been the motive behind the beating.
The teenager faces robbery, burglary and attempted murder charges, but now those charges are expected to be upgraded.
The teenager could be charged as an adult.
WAFF 48 News will continue to follow this story and will bring you new details as we get them.
You can thanks the SC's last ruling on the death penalty when this POS is just sitting in there with a mere sentence of life with no parole.
If he's 15 he is a minor and CANNOT be put to death.
Me? I think he needs to be hung from the lamp post.
That is the same as I have read. I do not think the 15 yr old was a student.
So she was asking for it, huh?
No kidding. They haven't figured out that if you want to keep anybody's race secret, you have to keep EVERYBODY's race secret.
It's like an argument I once heard against buying pornography through the mail. "Sure it comes in a plain brown wrapper, but the problem is, nothing else does."
It sounds like she may have been teaching in alternative education. Our school had that program for kids who could not behave, play nice during regular school hours. They asked me to teach in this program and I said no way in hell. I didn't think there was enough money to be made being in a class alone with 5-9 very bad, morally bankrupt kids (usually male, sorry folks, all white, rural school, and color had nothing to do with it.) I always thought that should be strictly done by the big, male teachers.
Maybe he was held back, still in first grade. hahah.
Reminds me of a local news story about a year or so ago.
Seems someone robbed a convenience store and his description was something like "medium build, dark brown hair, wearing a light blue jacket." That's it.
I'm sure hate-crime charges will be filed any time now.....
One of the few things I agree with O'Reilly - he's against the death penalty, but he does encourage sentencing life with no parole making little ice-cubes out of big ice cubes in a prison farm on one of the Allutian Islands.
That's in Alaska for those publicly schooled trained in the past decade.
Tried as an adult? Good! Kills as an adult, serves adult time. Fry the buzzard.
Guess the perp figured it was a sure bet that the victim was unarmed and probably knew that she was alone inside.
What makes that remark so amusing is your spelling.
LOL!
Good eye.
I'm sure the attacker was a good kid at heart and that there were underlying reasons for this.
yes. the young man was clearly 'acting out' in symbolic reparation for the plight of all oppressed peoples throughout the world throughout history.
Can't we all agree that the Nazi George Bush is 'sending a message' to teachers AND minorities by his racist persecution of the young man?
Our left leaning SC has ruled that a teen may not get the death penalty, because Europe doesn't do it and that would make it immmoral.
That's a paraphrase, of course, but in essence, that's what happened. Crimes committed as a "child" may not get the death penalty.
The teenager could be charged as an adult.

"Could be?" He had better be.
I believe you are right as teachers are not allowed concealed carry on school property. As easy mark.........
Yeah.
Remind me to riot and pillage when he gets convicted. I could use a new Plasma TV.
