According to court records from the Magistrate court in Dona Ana County, here are the events that led up to the murder of 5-month old Brianna Lopez.
Wednesday, July 24, 2002 --
This is what I was responding to from Gramma:
As a society, we DO need to kill these people . The good people, the decent people, need to take it back before it's taken from us. Do I necessarily approve of public execution? Probably not, but that's not on this thread, not yet...(I think).
Who are the "good and decent people" and what are they "taking back" and from whom? I've noticed that those who presume to be the good and decent can be an awfully bloodlusting lot.
SO much scum on this earth....
Who are the "good and decent people ???"
Well, in this context, those who don't maim and rape babies.
Add to it 120° temperature and no cloud in site and any shade to cool off?
....among other comments of yours, but due to the time constraints I'm under I'll only comment on this.
The good and decent people are those of us who find it more than appalling (duh!!!!!!!) that a child is used, such as Brianna or Samantha. And for you to come on here and act innocent, such as you have no idea what's being discussed is hideous and shows YOUR lack of concern for these babies and the HELL they went through.
What do we want to take back? Think. Just think about it.
And you betcha, we sure are a blood hungry group, aren't we? I'd sure as heck rather be that than either sitting on the fence, or taking the stance that the "poor" criminal didn't have a good life, yada yada yada.
Your own lack of disgust over these cases makes me wonder.......
You bet, when I hear of these little ones being abused by people like this, I become pretty bloodlusting.
I have two little granddaughters and if anyone would do this to either one of them I would do something even if it meant spending the rest of my life in jail. Fire ants come to mind..
Several years ago there was a little girl who disappeared and when found, of course she was dead, Both legs were broken from this perverted bag of slime trying to spread her legs. Inside she was torn apart. There was semen in her throat. I don't have to paint a picture. You bet I am a bit blood lusting.
They will!
BUMP

Community gathers to remember baby Brianna In Las Cruces on Monday, people gathered to mourn the death of five-month-old Brianna Lopez. The baby died eleven days ago. Police say she was the victim of child abuse.
Tuesday, July 30, 2002 -- "We have come here to grieve together the untimely death of Brianna," said Las Cruces bishop Ramirez.
Hundreds of mourners packed the Immaculate Heart of Mary Cathedral to pay their respects for Brianna Lopez, including her great aunt Roseanne Garcia.
"I just hope that where she is at, she's in a better place and I know that there she will find peace and love," she said.
The five-month-old died just over a week ago, after police say her father, Andy Walters, Sr. and her uncle Steven Lopez repeatedly abused her. The two are in jail along with the infant's mother, Stephanie Lopez.
Brianna's great uncle Robert Montiel say the memorial was hard knowing his family members could kill an innocent child.
"Because throught the whole funeral, it was hard for me to look at her picture, or because how ashamed I am that someone in our family could do such a monstrousity," said Montiel.
Brianna's family says they met her the same way we all did, through her death. However, they says what makes it more difficult is they also lost a niece and nephew as well.
"As far as I'm concerned, they're dead in my eyes. I have nothing - no remorse, no forgiveness in my soul and I know it's bad," Montiel added.
Baby Brianna's family wants to see the three responsible for her death pay a high price for what they did.
The family says it stands behind the justice system and whatever sentence they hand down. They do not want any other family to have to lose three family members through the death of one.
Baby's death raises questions about child abuse
The death of five-month-old Brianna Lopez in Las Cruces has raised many questions about child abuse in general.
Thursday, July 25, 2002 -- It can be easy to look the other way when we see bad parenting, but his week, we have a stark reminder of why we should step in.
5243 Comanche is the scene of the unspeakable, where Steven and Stephanie Lopez, along with Andy Walters allegedly abused five-month-old Brianna until she died.
The Sheriff's department says the trailer was filthy, its four rooms crowded by nine people.
But Ed Schissel with the State Children, Youth and Families department sas living conditions are not always indicators of child abuse.
Despite the young ages of the parents, Schissel says abusive parents share a different trait - alcohol and drug abuse.
If neighbors know of abuse, the state as a clear message.
Same for me...i just came across this post. I’m against the death penalty due to my Christian beliefs but at times like this, I’d help you with the noose...
These people are terribly lost and sad. Brianna is better now than she was with them.
Totally agree with you that they don’t deserve to live. I’m just against the death penalty because Jesus Christ said, “Which is better, to save life or to destroy it?” BUT, I am with you on how terrible these people are. They are acting as if they are barely human, more like animals than people. It’s heartbreaking.
DEATH IS TOO GOOD FOR THEM. They should get rapped and beaten everyday in jail. Put me in a cell with that Witch and I will show her torture beyond her wildest nightmares. This story makes me sick to my stomatch and very angry.
