I may be Democrat and mostly Liberal but when you hurt a child, any child through intent to harm and that child dies, you die. There is nothing anyone can tell me that would make me change my mind. The type of person that could kill a two year old child provides not positive benefits to society.

That is what the charge, officially listed on the books says, not that they used that as a criteria.

At any rate, still strongly against DP where SBS is used but don't mean that is the case here.

AP's life is over as he knows it. he won't be able to look at his Mom again so there is that loss as well, not to mention the contempt the child's Mom will feel towards AP and his Mom.

This is just horrible. AP is one of the good guys too................

According to the story, the child was assaulted by his mother's (i.e. Adrian Peterson's former girlfriend's) boyfriend.

Adrian Peterson's mother is not involved.

I thought it was his Mom's boyfriend. This is the babies mother's boyfriend? Oh man. That is good then at least as far as AP is concerned, he won't have members of his family to blame, so he can rely on them for support. But still...... My thoughts to AP and his family...

has a violent past, bastard burn in hell.

Our hearts are breaking here in Minnesota, we all love Adrian, our #28 so much. He has dedicated so much time for the Children's Hospital here and working with sick children. Horrible news.

The man has a history of domestic assaults against his former girlfriend AND her kids, and she thought he was the kind of guy to have around her baby?! I don't get some people.

That poor child. My heart breaks for him and AP.
