Recently, in Santa Ana, California Alexander Lucas Barnes was sentenced to 25 years to life in a state prison (Criminal Justice System).  Barnes will be incarcerated for a good amount of time for committing a very heinous crime. 
According to the Orange County district attorney’s office, Barnes had been babysitting his girlfriend’s son, 9 month old baby Isaiah Prim-Ortiz. Apparently, he could not deal with the baby’s crying and so he “crushed Isaiah’s head against a wall, causing blunt force trauma and multiple fractures to both sides of the boy's skull”. When Barnes was done he simply placed the baby boy back into his crib and no one knew until the grandmother came home and noticed the Isaiah was no longer breathing. Although the baby was taken to the hospital, nothing could be done. He was sadly pronounced dead.  Barnes was found “guilty of felony counts of second-degree murder and child abuse resulting in death”.
         This caught my attention, not only because an innocent baby was brutally murdered, but also because it made me think “we really cannot trust anyone” and that is a sad truth.
