Mother Admits to Killing Child

In the red corner, found guilty and given insanity for the brutal murder of her four children, may I introduce to you the former child murdering champion of Texas, Andrea "It's Bath Time" Yates! And in the blue corner, pleading guilty for the brutal murder of her daughter, may I introduce you to the sickest and newest reigning murding mother of Texas, Kimberley Dawn "Of the Dead" Trenor!

Throughout Texas state and local government, there are many upsetting issues and cases that fill our bodies with anger and grief. One such example is child abuse. There are so many of us that wish we could of been there to beat the living crap out of whoever was commiting such an evil act during that moment. There is nothing worse than hearing about a happy, innocent child that has been beaten or as in this matter, beaten to death. In a statement included to the police in an affidavit, a mother admitted to murdering her two-year-old daughter, Riley Ann Sawyers, along with the baby's stepfather. Kimberly Dawn Trenor, 24, and Royce Clyde Zeigler II, 24, were both arrested early Saturday and are in custody on charges of murder. An autopsy discovered that Riley Ann Sawyers, 2, endured three skull fractures, but the cause of death still has not been established yet. Zeigler attempted suicide last week and wrote a letter saying, "My wife is innocent of the sins that I committed." Yeah right. Trenor said in a confession that the girl was beaten with leather belts, had her head held underwater in a bathtub, and was thrown across a room and her head slammed into a tile floor. What a smackdown! They seem to make a really good tag-team. Except they're not professional wrestlers, they're murders. The mother said they kept the body in their shed for a month or two before they put her into a plastic bin and dumped her into Galveston Bay. Ah, the classic hide away the evidence act and get away with the whole thing. Nope! A fisherman found the body in a plastic bin on October 29th and the investigators confirmed that it is the body of Riley Ann Sawyers. Busted. Hopefully they will get the same fate as Bonnie and Clyde, death!

Throughout Texas state and local government, we are presented with issues and cases like this every day. Although a lot of these cases are not as severe as a case like this, child abuse should not be overlooked. We still have to feel some sympathy for the victims and should try to work together to try to save some lives from this ongoing, unstoppable, sad issue.

In Response to "Innocent People that Die on Death Row in Texas"

For the most part, I do agree with Mag's opinion that many innocent people do die on death row each year. I also agree with Mag's opinion that the amount of time spent on each person's fate is too short. But, how do we know that they are all innocent. Take her perfect example of the thrilling movie "The Life of David Gale." Throughout the movie he try's to convince the media and general public that he was wrongly accused, when in the end he was really guilty. The governor had to make a tough, quick decision and although it looked like they killed an innocent man, they really made the right decision.

Although, I do not agree that all of them are innocent. A lot of those so called "innocent" people are really guilty. We see them them as what the media portrays them as. In fact, I believe that a lot of them are guilty but are seen as innocent through the eyes of the general public. But, how de we know that innocent people die on death row each year? We don't. The state of Texas might have made the right move or the wrong move. The only person that really knows if they are innocent is the person themself and it basically comes down to a last minute coin toss with governor. A lot of people that are condemned to death by lethal injection in Texas act on their natural instinct, survival. And they know if they want to avoid death they lean toward their biggest supporter, the general public. And once the general public starts protesting outside the prison, it attracts their second biggest supporter, the media. Then, it comes down to the final minutes of the clock, where the governor has to use natural instints as well and make that decision no man or woman would want to make based on factual evidence or his gut reaction.

I also disagree with her opinion on giving lesser penalty's or reprieve's to people on death row. If you are condemned to death, it's not because you were seen on an episode of cops selling dope but it's because you took another person's life which is kind of a very serious matter. Especially in the great state of Texas. Go horns! A reprieve should be given to somebody who assaulted a police officer or someone who stole a snicker's bar from a convenience store (that actually happened). In the end, I do not agree with some of Mag's opinion's but it was still a very convincing and well-written piece. But who knows who was really right on this matter. I guess Mr. Seago will have to play the role as governor on this matter and hope to make the right call on this coin toss.
