The ReadyWriter

Kim Crawford, a 21-year-old Bronx mom killed her 5-year-old son (by beating him to death), because he broke the television while playing Wii.

Crawford revealed to police that she smacked her son Jamar Johnson in his back and stomach on June 12 “harder than I’ve ever hit him,” then watched him vomit and faint for six days as his internal injuries got worse while she never took him to the hospital.

Crawford said, She never took her son Jamar to the hospital because she feared getting arrested, so the dumb bitch instead watched her own son die.

“I was worried they’d see the bruises and I’d get in trouble,” she told cops.

The child suffered a ruptured pancreas and intestinal injuries, prosecutors said. He died at Montefiore Hospital late Friday. Prosecutors charged Crawford with murder and manslaughter. She was ordered her held without bond.

The petite single mom told cops several different stories about how Jamar was injured before finally admitting the truth, prosecutors said. First, she claimed he simply got sick, went to sleep and never woke up, prosecutors said. She then claimed he fell while playing in the park and injured himself.

After hours of questioning, she finally admitted becoming enraged at Jamar when he told her he broke the television.

The ReadyWriter

Officer Aaron Hess, a Westchester County cop who fatally shot Pace University football player, DanRoy Henry, has been named Officer of the Year by The Pleasantville Policeman Benevolent Association.

Ain’t this a bitch? So basically this cops benevolent association saw fit to honor this man/cop for killing a young black college athlete. They’re sending a message basically saying: This young black life didn’t mean shit to us, so to hell with him, his parents, his love ones and friends. To hell with their feelings!!!! We are the law and it’s okay when we kill them.

The award was given to Hess on Friday night, which only angered Danroy Henry’s parents who buried their son, on his 21st birthday.

“This honor is a slap in the face.” “It speaks to the arrogance that we have experienced since Oct. 17, 2010,” the player’s mother, Angela Henry said. Her son was killed in a hail of gunfire and “It just shows their inhumanity and their arrogance” she concluded.

Hess and another Pleasantville officer fired at Henry’s car after they claimed he ignored their orders to stop and tried to run them down in the parking lot of a Thornwood bar.

The Pleasantville Policeman Benevolent Association, chose to honor Hess for how he has handled the shooting and its aftermath.

A grand jury declined to indict him and the other officer in February.

“FBI Release New Files In ‘Notorious B.I.G.’ Murder”

The ReadyWriter

The FBI is now revealing, that rapper Christopher “Notorious B.I.G.” Wallace was killed with “very rare” metal-piercing, German ammunition that could help unlock his 1997 murder, which is still unsolved.

The 359-page cold case file released under the Freedom of Information Act says, bullets that were used to kill the rapper, are sold exclusively at two distributors in the U.S., one in California and one in New Jersey.

And according to the feds, the same ammunition was later found in the home of rogue Los Angeles Police officer David Mack, along with a “shrine” he had erected to Tupac Shakur. Mack was later busted for bank robbery shortly after Wallace’s death.

Investigators wrote they were unaware of any tests conducted to connect the bullets, and never matched the ammunition found during the search of Mack’s home after the bank robbery, with the bullets used to kill Biggie.

But a retired LAPD cop testified about Mack’s Tupac Shakur shrine in 2005 and his theory that Mack used his police expertise to help hip-hop mogul Marion “Suge” Knight order Wallace’s hit, as payback for Shakur’s unsolved murder six months earlier.

Both Mack and Knight have denied any involvement in the hail of gunfire that killed Wallace, 24, as he sat in a vehicle on a Los Angeles street.

LAPD did not immediately respond to a request for comment as their probe is continuing.

“Donna Cobb Aquitted of Stabbing Her Husband to death”

The ReadyWriter

In the beginning she said her husband was really sweet, charming and attentive to their children but Donna Cobbs, pictured here, killed her husband six months ago and has been trying to resume her life since the acquittal.

Despite the fact that, her husband continuously abused and mistreated her, Donna spent 10 years in an abusive relationship with her husband Kevin.

On the night of the killing, the couple threw a party in their apartment. Kevin, who was unemployed at the time, spent the evening guzzling a bottle of tequila and snorting cocaine.

When a fight broke out, the couple kicked everyone out, but Kevin began muttering threats and accusing his wife of cheating on him.

Donna went into her daughter’s room to sleep (the couple have 12-year-old twins), but said, her husband woke her up by punching her in the face, pulling her out of bed by her hair, kicking and stomping her as she tried to get away from him. She ran into the bedroom, but Kevin gave chase, grabbed her and began choking her.

“I was feeling for anything,” Cobb said. “I felt a knife, and just poked him with it.”

“I didn’t want him to die,” she added. “My kids have to be without a father, and it’s painful.” But at that point, in my opinion, it was her life or his.

Domestic abuse experts say it is not uncommon for victims of violence to make excuses for someone they love.

“Love is complicated,” said Adwoa Akhu, author of “Metamorphosis: Journaling the Path from Domestic Violence Victim to Victor.”

“People stay because things don’t usually start off violent,” she said. “Abusers are good at getting someone to love them.”

Cobb said she is now focused on moving her family out of the apartment where the murder occurred. She said she still is coming to terms with Kevin’s death.

“Throughout all the years of the abuse I experienced … I don’t think that’s something I’ll ever fully recover from,” she said.
