The parents who abused and killed their 5-week-old son in February 2021 in a Richmond hotel were convicted of manslaughter and other crimes Monday in Contra Costa County Superior Court.
After four days of deliberation, a jury convicted 38-year-old former Concord resident Rayray Darn and 31-year-old Marilyn Northington of involuntary manslaughter, assault on a child under 8-years-old causing death, and child abuse with the special allegation of willful harm or injury resulting in death.
On February 4, 2021, an employee of the hotel where the couple was residing witnessed Darn and Northington running out of their room with a baby reportedly not breathing.
Officers responded to a local hospital after confirming there was an infant in the emergency room who was not breathing.
Investigators later determined the infant died from injuries inflicted by his parents, including a broken femur, burn marks on his face and other parts of his body, fractured ribs, a skull fracture, and bleeding inside his skull.
The child also suffered from severe malnutrition, and dehydration – as well as testing positive for methamphetamine.
Darn and Northington face a sentence of 25 years to life. Both defendants will be sentenced on December 15 at 8:30 a.m.
I’m so mad about this please, please let me break all their bones and apply a coup da grace to each.
These are not humans and they are not animals, they are nothingness…
I will be glad for a couple more rounds of reincarnation just to be able to do this…
Very depressing.
I hope there is a Heaven and this baby is there celebrating in the Heavenly Realm.
Ah, drugs win again, apparently. Poor kid. We need some common-sense sterilization rules in place.

Liberals would say they just need counseling and emotional support.

Im willing to put money on someones books so they can fu(k these people up . Poor little baby 🥺
NONE YA, I will double your donation. I use to have contacts in the jail sadly no more.
6 weeks earlier and they could have aborted the baby and had full support of the state, and no jail time
i personally know Ray and he has always been abusive its been a long time coming before he was actually caught . He deserve everything that prison has to offer him and more (if you know what I mean ) ! He has never been anything good in this world and for that I hope that he rots in prison. Him and his disgusting baby mother .
The cure, Gen Pop

I think a cyanide capsule should be an option for convicted child killers and convicted child molesters.
.
I hope that their two other young children are being loved and taken care of by a good person.
