PHILADELPHIA (AP) -- A man who killed his 17 month-old daughter in a rage over a broken Xbox has been sentenced to more than 20 years in prison.
Philadelphia prosecutors say 27 year-old Tyrone Spellman killed Alayiah Turman in September 2006 with at least five blows to the head when she pulled down his Xbox console. The force of the blows cracked the toddler's skull.
Spellman was convicted in January of third-degree murder and child endangerment. He was sentenced Thursday, March 13, 2008, to the maximum 22½ to 45 years in prison. (full story)
I can't believe he's going to jail for this! The daughter should be in jail for dropping the man's XBOX c'mon now!! JOKES...
How do you murder somebody, let alone your own daughter, because of something so stupid! Not that there's ever a good reason to murk somebody, damn.
**Oh HELL NAH!! Look at this comment "rwe38133" left over there:
huh, all he did was killed her?
That shocks me, I thought those people usually raped their daughters first.
Pretty classy guy then.
Not too sure what he means by "those people" though...

I agree with Chrissy!
I mean, was he that mad that he didn't think that if he killed the child he would NEVER be able to play the XBOX again....because he would be in jail? Niggas just not thinking about consequences....
If he had a job or did adult thangs he would not have gotten so heated over this X-BOX. Buy another one, like Chrissy said: kids will be kids!
Thanks for the blog love!!!!! I am going to link this today.
