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.

This is also a hate crime, not only should he be charged with murder as an adult he should also be charged with a "hate crime"

I know - I just have to give something to the spelling police, the "already posted here" police and all the other "police" on FR so they can keep feeling more "superior".

Good morning.

The Aleuts would spell it as the "Aleutians", I think, but you are right that the chain would make a good prison.

I hope your wife stays safe, most of the kids in our program were there from behavior problems and had too many suspensions from school. There was one boy with autism that was violent at times. He had a big aide. I worked with Title 1 kids in junior high and did my good deeds. I just didn't feel safe in the after school program from 3-7 at night.

Where are the screams of "hate crime?!" Can you imagine that uproar there would be on a national level if a white teacher assaulted a minority student?

Hmm, must have been by herself; dangerous in a rough neighborhood

The creep's lawyers will produce a junior high school picture and whine "he was an honor student".

Any crime that isn't a love crime, has to be a hate crime

So...is this going to be considered a hate crime?

Oh yeah, thats right...the perp will release a (c)rap album about his deed before the authorities consider this a hate crime...and thats OK.

Yeah, maybe. However, your example of self-imposed martyrdom shows just how far ahead you are in that department....

I never said that she was aking for it. I simply stated what had been reported in the local news.

(And no, IMO she wasn't "asking for it".)

But this POS will be tried as an adult. Won't that make him eligible for the death penalty in spite of his age? Besides, when all his appeals are over with - in 20 or 30 years, he will long have been an adult.

I'm sure you're wondering where those snobs get off, sneering at people like that.

Hence, trying to make it appear as if the Court based its ruling on Europe or Africa or Asia is a total distortion.

No, it's not a distortion, it's a statement of what was in the court's decision.

I thought one of the judges speaking of that opinion mentioned that. Am I wrong? Wasn't european precedent quoted somewhere?

I seem to remember reading something about one of the judges saying how we needed to consider international law. I may be thinking of another case. Let me know, if you know.

"that "afro-american" is 15??? he should do time as an adult for life with no parole. Set an example, a hard example by putting him on the chain-gang."

I don't disagree. But another element at play here is, I don't believe that type of consequence would be any sort of "deterrent" to any other soul-dead 15-year-old, no matter what his race is. Kids who are this far gone never had the moral, humanistic underpinnings in their lives anyway--and the kind of sociopathy that sets in never lets them see other examples as "object lessons." If it did, we wouldn't have ghastly incidents like this on a tragically regular basis.

Jeesh, if I just sounded like a liberal, I'm entering a 12-step program.

Are you saying that the Supreme Court may base its decisions the laws of the individual states? If so I think you are far off of the mark.
The Supremes did indeed reference foreign laws when deciding the issue of execution of minors.

That is not what was said. The ruling was never said to be "based" upon international law. What was said was that the Court "consulted" international law or the laws of other nations IN ADDITION to examining current practices in the US. A big difference.
