"A 30-year-old from Albuquerque, New Mexico, has been arrested in Rockdale and charged with capital murder in the death of a 1-year-old girl.

According to Rockdale police, around 5:45 p.m. Monday, first responders were called to a home on San Gabriel Street. The 911 caller said a child was not breathing. Authorities said the 1-year-old lived at the residence with her grandfather, who is her primary caregiver, but was at work at the time.

When first responders arrived, they began treating 1-year-old Patricia Ann Rader, who remained unresponsive. She was pronounced dead at the scene 30 minutes later. First responders noted the girl’s body was bruised along her torso, arms, legs, neck and head. According to Rockdale Police Department Chief Thomas Harris, an autopsy showed the girl had extensive internal injuries and broken bones throughout her body."

"Boniello confessed to punching, slapping, shaking and squeezing the child until the girl stopped moving, a police report notes. The report states Boniello mentioned feeling angry at the baby and squeezing her until Boniello felt the child’s bones move."

It says that the tw was in a relationship with the baby's grandfather.

Further, they are not seeking the death penalty as the legal costs are too high.

Why would the reporting not mention that the alleged perp is a transwoman? If they report the person as a woman they're being misleading, if they report the person as a man that will set off a Twitter storm.

If there's a reason you think that info should be concealed, Raven, I'd love to hear it.

Why are they being described as a Trans Woman? Possibly for accuracy in crime statistics. After all, we are almost weary of cases like this confusing the issue of male violence. Likewise, Tara Desousa (child rapist), Karen White, Lisa Hauxwell etc etc.

Approaching 50% of Trans offenders in prison in the U.K. are there for sexual offences. Even supposing that half of them are transmen (unlikely), transwomen going to women's prisons for sex offences would still increase the number of women in jail for that reason by 25%.

Accurate reporting matters, if we are to ever understand the root causes of violence and sex offences.

It's unavailable due to legal reasons in the EU? (The link)

Ugh! That poor poor baby!

Why do they point out that she is trans?
