Man who killed child over Xbox now on trial

Listed in: Xbox 360 Tags: Microsoft

Tyrone Spellman, the man charged with killing his own daughter over an Xbox, is now on trial. The accused claims he "snapped" when his 17-month old Alayiah pulled the Xbox's cord causing it to fall over.

In statement to the police Spellman said, "[he] popped her in the face. [He] picked her up and tossed her in a chair" when he thought the system was damaged.

Alayiah's autopsy revealed "tremendous injury" inside her head "caused by at minimum three separate blows" to the right side, top, and back of her skull. Alayiah's skull was so fractured a piece of bone had fallen out.

Spellman was held for trial on charges of murder, endangering the welfare of a child, and related offenses.

This guys an ***** and it wasent a 360 it was a regular xbox, who kills their daughter over a game console?

# not xbox 360 — Guest 2006-12-18 06:20

it wasn't an xbox 360 but an xbox is right. my bad. thanks for pointing that out. anyway it still is a tragic incident.

# Fists never solve problems. — Guest 2006-12-18 06:31

If he thinks killing his child would fix his console, he needs to be put down due to stupidity. I mean, what is he gonna do if his car breaks?

If he just killed his child to make himself feel better, then he needs to be put down due to... stupidity.

# ***** — Guest 2006-12-18 06:32

u ***** sucking son of a *****

# WTF — Guest 2006-12-18 07:03

does it matter- if it was, a xbox1 or xbox 2 - WTF- NO IT DOESNT !

# jesus — Guest 2006-12-18 08:14

he coulda just ebayed another for like £30.. if it WAS broken.

heck, i woulda let him have mine for free.

but i hope he burns in hell.

# lol — Guest 2006-12-18 08:18

so better becareful

hes gonna go super sayain on ya lol

dumb idiot its an xbox. mines just collecting dust

# i rekon he is lieing — Guest 2006-12-18 08:29

how heavy was xbox 1??

it came standard with trip proof controler wire the chord would just disconect at a bridge point.

could a 17 month old child realy have budged that huge brick?

# Gamertag: gopal892005 — Guest 2006-12-18 08:31

WTF - this guy should b electrocuted without trial & the execution should b aired over the net in HD.

what kind of sick ***** would hit & kill their own daughter over a fricking gameconsole. this guy should burn in hell 4ever!

*****ing arsehole

# Gamertag: gopal892005 — Guest 2006-12-18 08:33

good point - i think they should bring in the m$ team to question him.

# - — Guest 2006-12-18 08:46

I hope this guy is raped almost to death in prison, then that someone rips of his balls and forcefeeds them to him while he bleeds to death.

# Is it his fault he is mentally retarded? — Guest 2006-12-18 10:16

Why do you all hate him so much when clearly he must be mentally ill. He needs to go to a mental institution not executed. You americans think you can solve all your problems by just killing them.

# we gets down like dat my chisel — Guest 2006-12-18 10:36

eh yo whashop shun!, is all good. video games made you thug out, Nah i mean!?. But yo, no 'mo video gaming fo yo ass. Wat da drill wit dat?

# he needs to die — Guest 2006-12-18 10:38

he needs to be executed.

# Prison — Guest 2006-12-18 11:06

When word gets out why he is in prison I guarantee the inmates wont let him off so easy.

# nothing — Guest 2006-12-18 12:37

Nothing in this world, no video game, no person, not even my own life, is worth more than my daughter...

# Actually,.. — Guest 2006-12-18 12:46

This actually happened In Philly area and I heard about it the same day it happened since i now reside in South Jersey. I think it is sick how someone could ever do that to a baby. He should die in Jail by a beat down...

# him — Guest 2006-12-18 13:51

nah dont kill him, let him rot in prison for the rest of his life thinking about what he did, death is the easy way out for him.. i want him to stuffer.

# holy... — Guest 2006-12-18 13:57

FuC*K yhea in tx we would kill his ass. Death penalty for this bicth , and no lines for him him. he would get to cut to the front line!!! so he could fry in hell that much faster!!!

# hahahah — Guest 2006-12-18 13:58

AND of course he's black.

# heh — loocsiaixelsid 2006-12-18 14:43

they didnt report what he had to do to get the xbox in the first place

# WTF — Guest 2006-12-18 16:30

What kind of sick person would want to see some1 executed in HD... You are whats wrong with Society today

# wtf — Guest 2006-12-18 19:18

@#$% stupid ! just f*cking dum like wtf!

a sad day

# curious — Guest 2006-12-18 19:23

So how much do you figure it would cost for a plane ticket to TX for an inmate?

# man — Guest 2006-12-18 23:47

its *****az like this that give decent black folk a bad name

# no way to "solve" his problem — Guest 2006-12-19 01:55

I don't want to pay so he can be "rehabilitated." Just kill him. Problem solved.

# Tourture — Guest 2006-12-19 03:40

definately i mean if u tortured him he would be in pain all his life ye its a lil extreme but i mean what a loon he should rot forever and ever and think about what he has done then not be fed

# Pathetic — Guest 2006-12-19 07:23

Those *****s and their Madden, boy I tell ya'.

# It would! — Guest 2006-12-19 07:36

It would not only solve the problem, but not waste their tax money on feeding him well he stays alive, the death penalty should be taken with immediate action if a human kills another... I'm not american, but killing off stupid people like this guy would make the world a better place...

# re — Guest 2006-12-19 09:52

I'd imagine most people hate him because he murdered his own child! and for no good reason other than he was annoyed!

I'm from Europe, I'm fairly left wing, but the idea that we should all feel sorry for this guy because "he is clearly ill", so what? he's a *****ing animal, how could you punch a child - hard enough to kill her, because of a computer game? that's not an illness, it's pure *****ing stupidity!

# B.S — Guest 2006-12-19 10:58

he is not retarded just let him get a22 raped in jail and if he says the game made me do it KILL his a22

# yo was up! — Guest 2006-12-21 11:39

yo was up dog? we was jus ill ya kno? let his ass go, hes inocent yall, ya mean? aight later yall

# ^ — Guest 2006-12-21 19:58

Typical blacks...

# What a POS. — Guest 2006-12-21 20:07

This clown is a straight POS. Who on earth would even hit a baby, especially over a freaking Xbox? I hope they keep him in protective custody, because if he's within the open population of the prison, he will be by inmates.

Burn in hell, you POS.
