 Twenty one years is simply nowhere near enough time for murdering an 18 day old child just because he interrupted a videogame, and how does this piece of slime get away with manslaughter? Pretty damn revolting stuff, makes you just shake your head and wonder what's going on with our legal system.Details after the jump. On Oct. 26th, 2007, Rene Edward Barrios was charged with looking after his girlfriends 18 day old infant who lay sleeping in the next room. Presently, the infant started to cry, sending Barrios into a rage, pausing the game, he went into the room, grabbed the child, shook him and then hit him before returning to his gaming session. By the time Barrios went back to check on the baby he was blue and unconscious, the poor child died at the hospital and Barrios was immediately arrested. Barrios has plead guilty to manslaughter and will be sentenced to serve between 10.5 and 21 years in prison. |

well if it were in the u.s. they should ship the guy to texas, and have him play ikaruga hooked up to an electric chair and if he gets past the fifth level then he gets 21 years, if not, ZAP. and then we would all shake him too and give him a good ol amurrican curbing but instead of a curb we'd use a big honkin ps3. with don king as the promoter. that is all.

He should get a lifetime of thugs and aryans running a subway up his a**. And they'd probably cut the guy's nuts off because they *really* don't like people that take liberties on kids in prison. That would be much worse than death.

This is the kind of thing that gives video games a bad rap even though the person that did this would have possibly did something crazy anyway if he was mad about something else. I hope he gets it in the face and rear hard in the slammer that piece of trash. Having children of my own really upsets me to hear this news.

You people make it sound like what he did was on purpose. He did do something terrible but im sure his intent wasn't to kill the kid. Some people just don't know that a rough shaking could kill an infant. In fact i didn't find out myself until a few years ago.(not by killing a baby)
All im saying is that you guys/gals are making it sound like he walked into the room and said "im gon kill you baby" and shook the crap out of it trying to do it. He just wanted the kid to be quiet. He knows he made a big mistake hence the reason he plead guilty.(just read it)

finally someone who actually thinks before writing down stuff like 'yeah, kill the ass..'.
you hear this stuff in the news all the time. It just shows that some people are not fit to have babies, mostly because they didn't have a decent education or were not given the chances they deserve, or just because they're plain stupid, ignorent, or addicts.
so yes, you could blame society, esp. in the states (don't know where this particular case was) where you still don't have decent healthcare.
I'm not saying this guy is innocent, but come on people, be realistic. by reading these comments, i wouldn't advice any of you to have babies, since you do do not seem to be able to see things in perspective.
blame society or whatever.

» I don't care!
Honestly, I don't care if he meant to kill the baby or not, either way he did. What he did was pretty much like shooting someone in the heart just to inflict pain but not intent on killing, the outcome is obvious - the outcome is the same.
I'm 18, from the age 13 I've known how fragile babies were, firsthand, and I'm sure I knew beforehand that shaking a baby was lethal; this guy is 21, and his blind rage killed that baby.
Some people need to get their priorities sorted out, a game before a helpless 18 day old? Something is messed up there.
And, I'm not saying this is the case, but did it ever occur to you that afterwards he thought "Crap, I'm going to go down for murder, I'll take the kid to hospital make myself look good for court, may get less than a life sentance/death sentance". And when it came to court, ever thought that he realised that pleading guilty for something so obviously his fault would land him less time in jail?

I mean come on... you're 21 and you don't know that shaking a baby is lethal, let alone "hitting" the baby. Get this dumb a$$'s gene-poole off the streets, please....
How many years will this cost the guy? At most 21?
Now, how many years did this cost the child? Potentially 80-100, huh?
The guy will still have half his life when he's released and he's lucky to get that.

This is what makes games look bad. Stupid (AWWW!!!! No word harsh enough). Learn there is a difference between a recreational thing and life. Bust a control, like my brother has done so many times, when you get pissed. Don't take it out on people, let alone an infant. This joker needs to be dealt with execution style, but without the blind fold. He is not deserving of freedom after this.

Doesn't matter if it was intentional or not. He didn't even have any business or legitimate reason to shake the baby violently, let alone hit it. I don't care if he plead guilty, that doesn't just magically erase what he did.
What he deserves is to be ass-raped every weekday with nothing but rusty pipes and beehives. No death penalty, just pure ass-rape.

» Death Penanlty
Just kill him, no point in letting him rot in jail. Him sitting in jail would just eat away at our tax dollars, do the baby a favor shake the crap out of him and hit him until he turns blue. Then well know he's dead. As the saying goes "eye for an eye". If the dumbnut would have said that he didn't like infants he should have not been given the responsibility of taking care of the kid. It might have saved him from being subdued by Bubba and having to deal with a cocsandwhich (Harold and Kumar Escape from Guantamano Bay).

» eye for an eye
murderers and rapists who have either plead guilty or have hard evidence to prove that they were the culprit should be given the death penalty. It would allow prisons to have more space for new convicts and would save money so we may hire more police officers. In my area, budget cuts are made more often than ever. People are losing their jobs and we are paying more tax dollars to balance the losses. Prisons are becoming more crowded so using the death penalty more frequently would benefit both the police force and help protect the American people.

» 'Mistake' or not: Baby is still Dead, right?
I so have to agree with Steven777 and dazmo on this. We breed the society that we tolerate. --In other words, if our justice systems show leniency for this type of behavior, it promotes to society at-large that "It's ok to be an $@#hole. You'll be punished, maybe --but you'll be free again someday to make another $@#hole decision." And, it's quite ironic how the 'bleeding heart brigade' thinks. Let's see: an 'eye for an eye' is uncivilized or "immature" (according to Eclipze_), but letting the guy get corked night and day for an entire lifetime (a fate "worse than death", per MyDixieNormous) is a humane and rational method of 'corrections'. It's said that Vengeance belongs to God. So, arranging the meeting is what's in order for this guy. Let God decide the punishment and whether this was truly a 'mistake' or the act of a soulless devil. --And, in so doing, not only does society benefit as a whole by not having to feed/maintain this guy's existence for 21yrs behind the slammer ....but it also benefits because A) he wouldn't be ABLE to make the same mistake again ever, and B) other people would think twice before letting their passions overtake them so easily without thought of consequence.

You need to chill out and read what I said. Where did I say we should let him go because it was an accident? I didn't say that at all. All I'm saying is putting this guy to death, or calling him scum bag (like some are saying) isn't something we should do.
damonous: Your right that if it was a mistake or not the baby is gone. If you want to bring god into this then let me put it a different way. God is the one who is supposted to cast judgement on people, not other humans. God is the one who chooses when we go, so why should we have the choice to kill someone by putting them to death? Its not our place to "arrange a meeting".
I do believe that leaving them in the prison for 21 or more years would make him not want to make that mistake/action again. What our system does is put them in jail so they can see what they did and possibly change the way they are. So hopefully when they finally do come out they'll be better people and make better desicions. I see nothing wrong with that.

The death penalty costs more than life sentencing in most cases (An average of $2 million per convict). Death penalty comes close, but you only pay a minimum amount each year instead of paying millions upfront.

I know that lethal injection can be pretty costly but believe it or not some states still allow the old fashioned firing squad, and hanging, and electric chair. Then we have the more modern methods of lethal injection, and Gas Chamber. I personally don't think I could ever shoot a man unless he threatened my life, so I would never be on a firing squad. Though from my studies in Criminal Justice, there are 5 members to the firing squad, four have blanks while one has a real bullet. Its at random who gets the bullet, this will help the people who are firing a bit of relief. This is not my method of choice, I'm just passing on some of my knowledge. The most humane way would be lethal injection because its the least painful and most effective but is spendy.

Honestly, thats like saying "This guy killed a 18 day old baby, but thats ok I'm not going to say what I think of him because, heck, this is the news and opinions aren't needed"... Yeah, like THATS ever going to happen! News is always has opinions in it, and in this case I'd ask for nothing less.

the point that is lost on you, vanaheimx, is that anyone who would read a report like this and NOT be off the same mindset as the author obviously is does NOT need to be reading newspapers. he DOES need his cage lined with them though.
P.S. you are misinformed about the goal of any news reporting agency in the United States is not to deliver unbiased accounts of news stories, it is to illicit funds from other comapnies who wish to advetise with them. fostering emotion from the readers is a good way to have them keep reading, and thus, expose themselves to more advertisements. in short, this is a prime example of a good news story.
though you might call it "manipulation", a better observation would be that articles like this make a handy filter for intelligent people to easily weed out the morons among them.

It's actually very easy to write from a neutral stand point. "On Oct. 26th, 2007, Rene Edward Barrios was charged with looking after his girlfriends 18 day old infant who lay sleeping in the next room. Presently, the infant started to cry, sending Barrios into a rage, pausing the game, he went into the room, grabbed the child, shook him and then hit him before returning to his gaming session. By the time Barrios went back to check on the baby he was blue and unconscious, the child died at the hospital and Barrios was immediately arrested."
As you can see, the second half of the article was written from a neutral standpoint. I just thought the first half was unprofessional.
I'm sorry that offended you.
Barrios has plead guilty to manslaughter and will be sentenced to serve between 10.5 and 21 years in prison."

21 years isn't good enough. He needs death penalty. I'm a person that votes death penalty back in all states for scum bags like him, but no, the government rather slap wrists and send them on there way.
I'm not looking for an argument, but for the people who say, "2 wrongs don't make a right," or something similar... Well think in someone else shoes. If you had a child or someone dear to you killed by some scum bag, I'm sure you would want them to have the death penalty, for claiming the life of your loved one.
Think about that.

And I would not want to put the guy to death. Especially considering this could have been a mistake. Either way killing the guy wouldn't benefit me in any way (it wouldn't bring the child back). And this "scum back" could have been a member of my family that did it on accident (which it most likely was in this case). Its not like he was some random guy who walked into the house and killed the child, he was asked to watch the child by someone (family I would think).
The saying an eye for an eye sums up to one word: Revenge. Two wrongs don't make a right, and killing this guy would do nothing beside have another death.

You used bad words. However on a more serious note, that seems like a slightly immature comment. Oh well... all I meant was that some of these people are sounding like animals. I know a baby died, which is a horrifyingly terrible thing, but some of the comments on here sounded a little bit on the sick side. Also, if the the convicted man really did mean to kill the baby because he lost control or something, wouldn't it be a more powerful punishment for him to mentally rip himself apart in prison rather than let some guy "do the job" for him? The mind is a powerful thing, but it can be quite a scary form of torture if you think about it.

according to studies, a baby's cry is that powerfull and stressful that it is even used by the army for torturing and/or disabling an enemy. that being said, i think this may have played a role with the man's action leading to the very unfaithful tragedy. stress from both the game and the baby's cry may have been too much for his not-so-stable/capable mind. true, what he's done is unimaginable and unforgivable, but we also have to see it in a different angle. again, i am not defending this scumbag, im just providing another overview of the incident.

I can somewhat agree with a babies cry being stressful, its the same as seeing a loved one unhappy, and being powerless against whatever is doing it. But, after all the times I've been stressed (working, games, etc) and having a baby crying around me, its never made me even come close to lashing out, I know people are different, but I still find it hard to imagine anyone under enough stress to shake a child and then hit it, however hard that hit may have been.

Thats true, but unlike time in prison, the death penalty is final. There is no coming back from that and there is no way to be reimbursed for it if a mistake or misjudgement were to ever have been discovered.

Why do you think the man is such a bad person? He made a big mistake but one person already died we shouldn't kill another with years in prison. I would bet my home that the man will not do it again because he didn't have intent to do it in the first place. Thats why he received 21 years because the prosecution couldn't prove intent to kill. It was just a random spike of rage. Do you deserve to rot in jail forever if you push a guy who calls your mom retarded and he just so happens to trip over a root, hits his head on a bar and dies? Thats involuntary manslaughter and you'll be going to prison for a while. The guy isnt a bad person, he just picked the wrong choice when confronted with stress and a baby.

Now, as for "are we not all God's children?": As far as I'm concerned, no. 'God', to me at least, is a fictional character, for want of a better term.
And finally. If you were beaten up at school for being ugly, that's your problem. I'm sure those kids would have been dealt with appropriately. There's not exactly the same age difference between school children, as there is between a fully grown man and a new born baby is there?

» The law
He got manslaughter because it wasn't premedidated. If he had the intention of killing the baby before shaking/hitting it then he would've gotten first degree murder.
But in all seriousness.. when the case is this extreme.. first degree murder should be used. I mean, the child is a few weeks old.. any harm inflicted on the baby that could and does lead to a fatality should be grounds to treat a case as first degree murder. Maybe they should start handing out pampflits to new parents that state this just so we can make this legit.
Manslaughter does not carry a life sentence or death penality.. but in all fairness.. this guy could be walking around in 21 years on the street while'st that baby should have been enjoying its 21st year of life on this planet... life is brutal.

» it was manslaughter...
he did not... i repeat did not try to kill the child on purpose. He wanted the baby to stop crying and was probably losing in the game along with other stresses and did not know what to do. He then probably in a panic and rage did the only thing he thought would shut it up. shake it. At no point in time did he say f this baby i am going to kill it. so it is not and should not be considered first degree murder. for it is not murder it is in fact manslaughter and got the title it deserves.
Btw... WTF does this have to do with my ps3 or psp? why am i reading about an idiot who just so happened to accidentally kill a baby by shaking it. The hit is negligible because the shaking probably killed the baby. This has nothing to do with games besides the fact that the man just so happened to be playing a game. I shouldn't come to a game news site/blog seeing horrific mistakes/crimes. I should see future game titles,homebrew,new developers,speculation of new games,cheats for games, and game statistics. Whoever wrote this article is also a scumbag for writing an article that is biased and then saying the man who could have just been dumb is a scumbag for most likely making a mistake in judgment and killed the baby by shaking it.
