The story...
Remember the Georgia mother who says that she was walking by herself on a quiet Brunswick Street when two black boys tried to rob her, shot her in the leg, and then shot her baby in the head? This was back on March 21, 2013.
Her name is Sherry West. Her husband, Louis Santiago, was said to be shopping at Walmart at the time.

Murder Victim: Antonio Santiago..... The parents: Louis Santiago and Sherry West
It's always bothered me why would-be robbers would execute a baby. No money to be had there, no chance the baby could ID them, why not kill the mom?
It's possible the suspects are just evil beings, they were totally drugged out, or motivated by something not often seen in attempted robberies.

The suspects: Dominique Lang (15), De’ Marquise Elkins (17)
And, yes, the suspects' families and home lives are not ideal and they're probably not the teens you always dreamed of having. IMO.
Still, as the trial date approaches - AUGUST 19th - and the defense is demanding evidence discovery from the prosecution, some new details related to gunshot residue on both parents' persons has me curious.
Not accusing the parents (might be able to be explained reasonably and the defense would want these questions/insinuations thrown out there), but still very curious to hear more about the actual evidence against the two black teens and how LE verified the stories of the baby's parents.
Also interesting is what Sherry West's daughter has been saying all along about suspecting her mother. Will post an interview with her down-thread.
