Re: Anyone watching CNN....
ugh, how heartbreaking.....
from the article:
The couple's son, Blake, now 3, was found home alone and gave investigators their first clues to his mother's disappearance when he said, "Mommy's crying. Mommy broke the table. Mommy's in the rug," and later, "Daddy's mad."

That's right.
that's the part that I can NEVER get..it's not to say it's justified, but how can anyone in their right mind kill not only the mother of their children BUT when she's pregnant with YOUR full term baby! it's just mind boggling.

He got life in prison with no parole for 57 years.
According to the articial on line
"Cutts could become eligible for parole in 30 years under the jury's recommended sentence."
And the judge can still decide on the death sentence. Correct?

Killer ex-cop gets life, no parole for 57 years
CNN) -- Jurors spared the life of a former Canton, Ohio, police officer who killed his pregnant girlfriend and tearfully asked them for mercy. A judge then sentenced him Wednesday to 57 years to life in prison.
Bobby Lee Cutts Jr. stared straight ahead as the jury announced its recommendation to spare him.
Bobby Lee Cutts Jr., 30, would be 87 by the time he becomes eligible for parole.
He stared straight ahead as the jurors' announced their recommendation to spare his life. He and his lawyer teared up as the jurors were polled about their decision.
Judge Charles E. Brown added to the sentence, taking other counts into consideration after hearing victim impact statements from the parents and sisters of victim Jessie Marie Davis.
She was 26 and nine months pregnant when she disappeared last June. Her body, and that of her unborn child, were found 10 days later at a state park in northeastern Ohio.
The six men and six women deliberated for 12 hours over two days before agreeing that Cutts should not be executed for the murder of his unborn child.
Whitney Davis, Jessie's sister, directed her remarks at Cutts: "I don't believe that you are sorry for what you did. I believe that you are sorry that you got caught up in all your lies. I don't know that you would know the truth."
Cutts took off his eyeglasses as Davis' father, Ned, stated: "Put down your head. You killed her. Violently."
And, tears rolled down Cutts' cheeks as Davis' mother spoke of her grief. He offered no statement, no testimonials to his character.
On February 15, the same jury found Cutts guilty of murdering Jessie Davis and their baby, who was to be named Chloe.
It was Chloe's death that made Cutts eligible for the death penalty. Jurors convicted him of two counts of aggravated murder -- for terminating a pregnancy and taking her life during the commission of a felony.
All the members of the jury are white, as was Davis. Cutts is black.
Cutts, who has maintained Davis' death was the result of an accidental elbow to the neck, asked the jury to spare his life and offered a tearful apology at his sentencing hearing Tuesday. Watch Cutts' tearful plea »
"Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I'm asking you to spare my life," he said. "To imagine that I was responsible for the death of Jessie, the mother of my children and my unborn daughter, is beyond any words that I can express," Cutts added, reading from a handwritten statement.
"Words cannot bring them back, nor can they erase the pain I've caused, but I want to apologize," he said.
Cutts' lawyer, Fernando Mack, had urged jurors to recommend the lowest available penalty -- 25 years to life -- to allow him to play a limited role in his other children's lives.
Saying the death penalty should be used only on the "worst of the worst," Mack focused his argument on the heavy burden of handing down the "ultimate sentence of death."
"This is not simply about signing a name to a piece of paper," Mack argued. "This is about participating in the death of another human being. Not unlike Bobby, that's something that you will have to live with."
Mack acknowledged that many of the jurors might still be angry with Cutts for leaving his 2½-year-old son, Blake, home alone for more than a day while his mother lay dead in a field.
But sentencing Cutts to death hurts Blake even more, he argued. "That is still Blake's father, like it or not. The prosecutor here wants you to kill Blake's father, so now he'll have no parents."
Stark County Assistant Prosecutor Dennis Barr did not present victim impact testimony from Davis' family, but attacked Cutts' character and his sincerity on the stand.
A police officer should have known better, he said.
"Bobby Cutts took an oath to serve and protect," the prosecutor argued. "But on June 14, 2007, Bobby Cutts did not serve and protect. He destroyed."
He then took aim at Cutts' sobbing statement to the jury, in which he apologized to Davis' family and insisted he did not intentionally kill her or Chloe.
"Really, Bobby? Really?" Barr said, turning toward Cutts. "He had a chance to walk away, he had a chance to stop, he had a chance to try to save baby Chloe, but he didn't because he chose not to."
Davis was nine months pregnant when she disappeared in June 2007. Her body was found in a northeastern Ohio park after a 10-day search that brought national media attention
According to testimony, Cutts rolled Davis' body in a comforter and dumped it in a park, leaving toddler son Blake in the house alone at the crime scene in a soiled diaper.
Mommy's in the rug," Blake told police, according to testimony.
Prosecutors charged during the trial that Cutts buckled under the financial pressure of additional child support, killed Davis, and then created a cover story to try to get away with it.

Re: Anyone watching CNN.... Bobby Cutts Life in prison with no parole for 57 years!
He's a disgusting human being.
"Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I'm asking you to spare my life"
He should not even be allowed to speak and request this!
Not only did he not give a damn about her or his unborn daughter, but he left his son alone for 2 days with his dead mother. HE knew this and didn't NOTHING.
It really makes my blood boil!
Wasn't he also married? Did his "wife" speak at the hearing?
Edited to correct myself:
He didn't leave his son alone w/his dead mother. He wrapped her up in a blanket, walked out the door and locked his son in a house alone!

I don't know if I will ever 100% agree with having the death penalty, but when it comes to cases like this, my heart breaks because there were children involved...one murdered and one who witnessed it
