Melecio Camacho would like a public defender

Melecio Camacho, the Mexican national who was living in South Sioux City for perhaps months, who has family still back in Mexico and who was recently arrested, would like a public defender. Not for just another petty crime, but for the vicious rape and murder of a 3 year old girl.

"It was an extremely vicious and brutal crime,"said South Sioux City Police chief Scot Ford.

He said evidence shows that in the middle of the night, Camacho brutality raped and murdered a 3-year old girl while her parents slept.

"The daughter was a victim of an extreme sexual assault," he said.

Apparently Camacho knew the family. The attack took place in the home where the little girl lived with her parents, her brother and a months-old sister. Her mother discovered the crime when she woke up to take care of the baby.

Ford said the suspect apparently entered the home through a window that didn't work properly, and did not wake the family inside the house.

Police say, Camacho fled the home on foot. He had blood on his shirt when a South Sioux City police officer stopped him early Saturday morning. When asked by police why his shirt was bloody he said he was walking home after a scuffle with friends.


After police learned details of the heinous rape and murder, and a sibling of the child was able to provide information on Camacho, he was located in Sioux City, where he was living with three other men all who were arrested on immigration violations.

Orrin Hatch's push to strengthen the nation's sex-offender registries and clamp down on sex crimes. The Senate Judiciary Committee gave quick, unanimous approval to Hatch's bill Thursday, clearing its way for consideration by the full Senate. But Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass., said he plans to try to attach language to a bill that would require tougher sentences, provide federal assistance and offer grants to prosecute hate crimes - those motivated by hatred for a race, religion, gender or sexual orientation.

Boyfriends...

I sometimes wonder if certain men have some sort of animal DNA breed into them. The type of DNA or whatever it is that makes animals ritually preform certain actions. Like lions, when a male lion takes over a pride it'll often kill the offspring of the previous male, before mating with the female lions and creating cubs of it's own. I only wonder this, because it seems like there are an overwhelming number of men out there that end up killing the children of their girlfriends, not all of them do- but on a case by case comparison between girlfriends killing their boyfriends offspring and boyfriends doing it, it just seems that it's a lot more common amoung men. NOT THAT ALL OF THEM DO THIS... there are some great boyfriends/stepfathers out there that actually take care of kids as if they are their own... but then we have cases like Christopher Thunborg and Kashon Scott. Thunborg was babysitting his girlfriend's 11 month of baby in March when police say he caused ...
