9. Lionel Tate (Born – 1987)
Mother Kathleen Grossett-Tate was babysitting Tiffany when one day she left the baby with her son Lionel (14 years old) who was watching the television while she went upstairs. At one time she heard the children screaming and yelled back at them to be quiet, but didn’t go downstairs to check what the commotion was all about. An hour later Lionel called to his mother and told her that they were wrestling and he had slammed baby Tiffany’s head on the table; the girl was not breathing.
Medical examination reported the cause of death was sharp stomping that lacerated Tiffany’s liver. The girl also suffered from brain-swelling and fractured skull & rib from a beating that lasted from one to five minutes, and 35 other injuries. Tate later said that he had jumped on her from the staircase. In 2001 Tate was sentenced to lifetime imprisonment without parole, but his sentence was overturned as his mental competency was not tested before or during the trial. He was released in 2004 with on one year’s house arrest and 10 years’ probation. Also See: Top 10 most friendliest dog breeds in history of the world (With Pictures)
