An 18-year-old Georgia man will spend the rest of his life behind bars for fatally shooting a baby riding in a stroller during a robbery attempt at a seaside town, a judge ruled Thursday.
DeMarquise Elkins, 18, was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole, The Associated Press reported.
Elkins was 17 at the time of the killing and thus too young to face the death penalty under Georgia law.
A jury last month found Elkins guilty of two counts of felony murder and a count of murder in the March 21 shooting of 13-month-old Antonio Santiago in Brunswick, Ga.

Let’s hope it is a very short life. Too bad we have to rely on inmates for justice to be meted out.
, Baby still dead.
btt
Execute him anyway, just on general principles.
now the taxpayers get stuck with the bill for his shrinks lawyers etc
Better to try and execute him in the here and now
Another product of liberal policies. Pay to raise them pay to incarcerate them and the process repeats a million times.
IF he does manage to survive prison life, how much more is he going to take from society in supporting his worthless butt for the duration?
There’s a special corner in hell for such heinous acts, and the sooner he gets there, the better.
IMHO.
I hope he gets slashed in so many pieces a Shop-Vac would be needed to clean his carcass parts off the floor.
Hopefully he’ll be “Castro’d”
Put him in Ariel castro’s old cell. I hear its empty now.
The baby is dead........the killer should be dead as well.
I disagree. I hope the scum lives to be 90 years old. That is 70 years of having to lean forward for the other inmates to enjoy his rectum and mouth. Plus having to eat that garbage.
This kind of sentence is one reason why the modern justice system is so expensive. A comfortable jail cell, with a big screen TV and all the amenities. I would venture a guess that this guy will cost the taxpayers of Georgia at least $60 or $80 million (plus inflation) before he meets his Maker.
“Life without the possibility of parole,” huh? How long before he’s out? Six years?
vaudine
DeMarquise juss "gettin sum" fer "Traiyyvvoouwwwn."
Too bad he won’t be strapped in the chair and fried like a crispy piece of bacon! I guess we’ll have to depend on a white supremacist in the joint to set things right.
wonder if he has “street cred” for killing a baby. I’m sure he thinks he’s one tough mother fletcher. See how tough he is in prison.
