Deontae Mitchell, Someone Please Tell Me What's Happening Here!

[Bigdd]

It is fascinating how our minds work to process our reaction to a child's murder. Since we don't and can't understand the murderer, .

Well,... we don't know yet if he was actually murdered,... or just died.

It was "presumed" by everyone until yesterday evening that he was taken to the field and shot,.. but according to the Medical Examiner,.. there is no bullet or bullet hole in Deontae.

We'll have to wait an see what they think the cause of death is.



I am reminded of the crack-head Malice Green,.. who died of a heart attack while struggling with police who were trying to wrestle away the crack he had clenched in his hand.

Malice had a number of heart attacks before that from crack use, and had a very damaged heart. The autopsy revealed no bruising on his brain [[which would have occurred if he died from being beaten about the head while his heart was still beating). But there was none,.. which means either the blows from the Mag-Light weren't very hard,.. or his heart had already stopped beating. [[Meaning he almost assuredly died from a massive heart-attack very early on in the struggle).

None of that evidence [[from the ME or his past medical history and heart issues) was allowed in court for some reason,.. and so the two cops were convicted.


So far the cops have the suspects dead to rights on felony firearms possession,.. indescent exposure, kidnapping, and other previous warrants [[at lest the couple in Ohio).... it remains to be seen if there is any evidence to charge them with murder.

According to Channel 7, it appears he was strangled to death, after being beaten up:

Lillian Lisette Roberts, 43, watched her boyfriend, Gregory Walker, beat 13-year-old Deontae Mitchell, say sources....Sources tell 7 Action News that Roberts' stepson, 30-year-old Ernest Coleman, helped Walker assault the teen whose body was found Thursday morning near Harper and Baldwin.
It appears Deontae had been strangled.
Coleman has also been arrested in the case. Roberts' uncle, 51-year-old Roy Portis, is also under arrest.
After Deontae's murder, police say Portis drove his niece and Walker to a Days Inn in Toledo where he rented a room for them.
