Life term for ex-cop in woman's death

CANTON, Ohio - A judge in Ohio has spared a former police officer convicted of killing his pregnant girlfriend and their unborn daughter from the death penalty.

Jurors recommended a sentence of life in prison with the chance of parole after 30 years for Bobby Cutts Jr. Judge Charles Brown Jr. gave Cutts no chance of parole for 57 years.

Cutts tearfully testified during his trial that he panicked after he accidentally killed 26-year-old Jessie Davis with an elbow to the throat during an argument last June. Prosecutors said he wanted to avoid child support payments for another child.

He could have faced the death penalty for his conviction on a charge of aggravated murder in the death of the fetus.

For a former cop, that is life imprisonment in "special custody" cells to protect him from the general population. That's not sympathy for the guy, it's just a statement.

"Accidental death due to an elbow to the throat" eh?

Not going to make it to his 87th birthday methinks.

This has been a pretty big case here in Ohio. I think the verdict is fair in this circumstance.

So, someone other than the woman carrying the fetus kills the fetus, it's "aggravated murder". If the woman carrying the fetus kills it via abortion, it's "Pro Choice".

And also remember, the government isn't competent enough to carry out the death penalty, but dammit it's competent enough to fix the health care issues in this country
