molested his 3 year old 1/2 sister.
Outside Detroit today, a 37-year-old father was denied bond for allegedly killing his naked son execution style after hearing that the 15-year-old had sexual contact with his 3-year-old half-sister.
Jamar Pinkney Sr., a postal carrier, was charged with first-degree murder after the execution-style shooting Monday of Jamar Jr. Police said that after the boy's mother called her ex-husband to tell him what had happened, he came to her home in Highland Park and began beating the boy. Pinkney then stripped him naked, marched him outside and shot him in the head.
"He got on his knees and begged, 'No, Daddy! No!' and he pulled the trigger," his mother, Lazette Cherry, told the Detroit Free Press. "There wasn't nothing that my son wouldn't do for his father. He loved his father so much.
"There's no justification for what he did, you know, downright shoot your child," she said. "He didn't rape her or anything. So why did you have to come and take matters into your hands? We said we were going to get him help."
A fund has been set up at the Charter One Bank branch in Highland Park to help the family with burial expenses.
Defense attorney Corbett O'Meara said prosecutors should consider the father's state of mind over the sex abuse report.
"If something were to happen that would cause a reasonable person to lose control of himself, that is something the prosecution would have to take into account," O'Meara said outside court.
Pinkney is due back in court Dec. 1.
I'm really undecided on how i feel about this. One hand he shouldn't take the law into his own hands, on the other hand he did what some/most would do if a complete stranger did it to their child.
Thoughts?
