“If you look at the circumstances surrounding this killing and ask: ‘When did the defendant premeditate, when did he reflect, when did he have time to think twice?’ Every step of the way,” Assistant Prosecutor AIIen argued in court, per reports.
“Because before he knocked to the ground a 40-pound 5-year-old girl, he had time to think.” Many readers called for Thomas to be punished severely for the crime.
“This is just horrible!! This beautiful little girl was a typical five year old. She was hungry so she asked for food. This idiot got mad so he killed her. I hope the people in prison have a little surprise for him. Let the prisoners take care of him.
