Daniel Politi wrote an article to "State" on March 23, 2013 talking about the tragedy a mother faced first with her 18 year old son and now with her 13 month baby boy. Her oldest son, Shaun Glassey, was stabbed five years ago. The 17 year old killer was put in prison. Now the same person killed the baby after the mom refused to give him money. He was shot four times, once in the head. There were three by passers that called 911 after the shooting saying they had heard gun shots. Even after all this, the criminals family insisted that he was not there that day, therefore the killer was not him. The mother who faced two tragedies with her children hopes that this penalty leads to a death penalty, after all this 17 year old criminal has done to her and her family.
