(December 5, 2008)--A19-year-Texas old man should have been behind bars, but instead through a series of legal missteps was free when a 13-month-old toddler was murdered this week, the Tyler Morning Telegraph reports.

Blaine Milam, as part of a condition of probation for a second-degree felony, was sentenced in August to serve 180 days in jail and if the sentence had been followed, he should have been behind bars until February.

He and Jessica Carson, 18, were arrested Tuesday on capital murder charges for in the beating death of Carson’s 13-month-old daughter during what evidently was an exorcism.

Investigators think the couple used a hammer to "beat the demons out" of the toddler.

Authorities said Amora Bain Carson, was also bitten more than 20 times.

Carson and Milam remained in jail Friday in lieu of a $2 million bond each.

Officials also confirmed that Milam had failed to register as a sex offender in Rusk County and had not changed his previous address from Longview.

I think whoever was responsible for letting this man walk free, should be held just as liable. It is unexcusable that he was out when he shouldn't have been. Not saying that the nutcase mother wouldn't have done this anyway, but he shouldn't have had a hand in it. And to think that these people used the casting out demons excuse!!! They are the ones full of them. At least the baby is at peace now and they will no longer be able to hurt her. I hope they both rot!

Think long and hard without judgement as God must have had a reason for these two people to become parents. Remember, the Lord works in mysterious ways, so hold the harsh words; God will tend to this problem.

His attorney and the judge from the previous conviction should be jailed with him.

Fry the bastard! Anyone doing an exorcism is just plainly nuts. There is no need to even waste the tax payers money on a trial for either of them. Anyone how has the never to abuse, injure a child,& torture one, much less murder them the innocent should honestly be put down like a RABID animal. No mercy here for the accused. Kill them the same damn way they hurt that baby. If the gov't would just do to them as they have done to others, maybe this world and the evil spirited ones might slow down and think about how it would feel if the laws were changed and they had no chance for prison or lowered sentences. This world just might be a better place to live. God rest the soul of that baby!
