Akel Ackie sexually assaulted & fatally beat a 21 month old girl

[Sister Iroz]

PATERSON - The Passaic man accused of sexually assaulting and beating to death a 21-month-old girl pleaded not guilty Monday morning in Passaic County Superior Court.

Akel A. Ackie, 22, was arrested last week in connection with the death of the toddler, identified by law enforcement only by the initials D.L. Authorities allege Ackie physically and sexually abused D.L while caring for the girl in her mother’s house on Ninth Street.

The girl was taken to St. Joseph’s Children’s Hospital in Paterson, where she died around 2:20 p.m. Tuesday, said Passaic County Chief Assistant Prosecutor Joseph A. Del Russo.

Ackie on Thursday was charged with murder, felony murder and aggravated sexual assault.

On Monday, Ackie spoke softly, mumbling through answers to questions posed to him by Del Russo.

The courtroom was crowded with family and friends of the girl, most of whom declined comment after the short hearing.

The girl’s great grandmother, Louise Branch, said she was still questioning how this happened.

“I’m angry and hurt that he would do this to a child,â€￾ she said.

A woman wailed from the back of the courtroom before quickly exiting to the hallway. As Del Russo addressed Superior Court Judge Marilyn Clark, some audience members there for their own cases gasped in shock.

Clark continued Ackie’s bail at $1.5 million. If unpaid, he will remain in the Passaic County Jail.

Ackie’s public defender, Margaret Kean, declined comment after the proceeding.

Ackie faces a possible life sentence if convicted of either of the murder charges, authorities said.

Death, death, death...nothing more should be done...Kill him

 

[misfirefly]

I've said it before, and i'll say it again. He should have his sex organs removed with a dull, rusty razor blade, and then placed in genaral population with the details of his crime tactooed into his back....the other inmates would be sure to give him the "special" LOVE and care that he needs.

 

[MnKs]

Seriously what is up with these baby raping fuckers....is this some sick new trend or something? Why is this happening so often?

I wish vigilante justice was handsomely rewarded. I would hunt the bastards that do shit like this!

Shove a pole up his ass and super glue it there - then let him lose in general population.

The prisons around the country would rather think that sexual assults don't happen in their prisons, but it happens more than they even find out about when the creep is found out that he raped a kid, I have seen those type of prisoners in the hospital with parts of a broomstick up their butts and broken off inside. Broomsticks aren't the only thing they have found lodged up inside of them. Most require surgery to repair the damage and then you see them back in the hospital to remove and repair more damage done to their bowels and intestines. I just hope this creep gets the same treatment.

I don't, that just means medical treatment that costs money. This piece of shit isn't worth it. Just kill the fucking sick evil bastard. Get it over with. One less burden on society that can hurt our babies. Show the would be child killers the penalty of these crimes, and maybe they will slowly end. Fear of death can do alot to someone.

A Passaic man faces 37 years in state prison after admitting in state court Wednesday that he sexually abused and killed his girlfriend’s 21-month-old daughter.

Akel A. Ackie, 25, must serve at least 29 years of his 37-year sentence before becoming eligible for parole, under the terms of his guilty plea to charges of aggravated manslaughter and endangering the welfare of a child. He faces sentencing Sept. 20 before state Superior Court Judge Raymond A. Reddin in Paterson.
[...]

Ackie twice last month rejected the state’s plea offer, prompting Reddin to revoke any future offers and order lawyers to prepare the case for trial. But, Reddin noted from the bench Wednesday, “I changed my mind and accepted a plea because I thought it would be in the best interests of the family.â€￾

Reddin said having relatives endure weeks of painful testimony would have been the alternative if he had not allowed Ackie to finally take the plea bargain and avoid a trial. Relatives of the victim have been involved in the case but were conspicuously absent from Wednesday’s plea proceedings. Passaic County Chief Assistant Prosecutor Joseph Del Russo said they simply could not bear to sit in court and hear the defendant admit to specific acts of violence against the child.
[...]

Through detailed questioning by Passaic County Assistant Deputy Public Defender Jon Iannaccone, Ackie, speaking mostly through “yesâ€￾ and “noâ€￾ answers, said he agreed to babysit the child on March 20 of that year while his girlfriend went to work at a green market in Hackensack.

He said he left the apartment twice, both times with the child. The first time, he said, he drove to another part of Passaic to pick up a male friend. They stopped on the way home so the friend could buy marijuana from a street dealer.

He said after they smoked it together at the apartment, he drove the friend home, again with the baby in the car. Ackie said on his way back to the apartment, he stopped at the supermarket to buy food for the baby. When he got home, he said he fed the child.

Ackie said he then undressed her, and inserted his fingers in her anus and vagina, using force to do so. This caused the baby to become “distressed,â€￾ he said. He shook the baby with great force before throwing the child down onto the hardwood floor, also quite forcefully.

The defendant said he brought the baby to bed but could see she was having difficulty breathing so he called an ambulance, who brought her to the hospital.

The baby ultimately died of brain injuries caused by his shaking and dropping her, and blunt force trauma from his inserting his fingers into her, according to medical reports.

I'd rather he be in there til he was dead. Hopefully someone can help him out with that. He doesn't deserve to walk free EVER after what he did. Irrational.

 

[Sugar Cookie]

The sack of shit attempted to appeal said he had ineffective council - it was denied.

I hate that he will be released in March of 2039. Also when you look him up his sentence says nothing about rape/sexual abuse of a child.

Hopefully there is not a woman alive who will think they can polish this turd and ficx him at the expense of their child/ren.
