Going on comments from police about how the parents are suffering unimaginably and yada yada Im going to assume no ones going to charge them with child neglect let alone with something linking them to her death. What they should get is a child neglect causing death charge because lets be real, if either of her parents gave a shit enough to watch her, she'd be alive right now. Their neglect put their daughter into the hands of a child molester and ultimately cost her her life...

Now the only thing people will remember about her is that she was tragically kidnapped and murdered by a stranger. No one is going to remember what shit hole parents she has. Or that they abused the poor tot. The parents get a pity party instead of 3 hots and a cot.

An Alabama woman who is accused of murdering a 3-year-old girl has a lengthy criminal history that includes arrests for robbery and kidnapping.

WBRC obtained court documents showing that Derick Brown, 29, had lost custody of her three children in July 2018 after a relative reported her for putting one of them in a washing machine as punishment. A day after the Department of Human Resources took the children and placed them with a relative, Brown allegedly went to the relative’s home, pointed a gun at them, and took her kids back.

Brown reportedly led officers on a chase which ended with her crashing the vehicle and being taken into custody. The kidnapping charge was dismissed after her attorney argued that she still had custody of her children at the time because a legal order had not been filed. However, a grand jury still indicted her on kidnapping charges in March 2019, according to the news station.

WBRC reported that Brown’s criminal record dates back to 2009, when the then-18-year-old was charged with burglary and theft of property. She was ultimately convicted of theft and ordered to serve two years of probation.

In December 2010, Birmingham police charged Brown with robbery and fraudulent use of a credit card, both felonies. While awaiting sentencing, Jackson’s probation from the 2009 theft case was revoked, resulting in her spending six months behind bars.

Earlier this year, Brown wrote a letter to the judge presiding over her felony case. In it, she explains that she didn’t want to lose her children and revealed that her own childhood involved sexual abuse, treatment in mental health facilities, and years in the foster care system.

“Don’t let me become a statistic, a failure,” she wrote to the judge.

I want to know WHY she kidnapped and killed some random little girl? She didn't like her own alleged childhood abuse. She didn't like her own kids being taken from her. WTF, bitch?

 

[Sugar Cookie]

@Brillig

Maybe she thought she was saving the girl from abuse or ending up losing her own kids and wanted one.

The thought is that Cupcake was asphyxiated the same day she was taken so either she put up to much of a fight or the publicity made the alleged suspects panic and they killed her.

You give her way too much credit. Her letter to the judge (“Don’t let me become a statistic, a failure,”) tells me she doesn’t accept any responsibility for her crimes.

[Brillig]

And the moral of this story is :
Keep an eye on your kids.




Also, I just rewatched the interviews with the parents. The father, in particular, I found unintelligible at least half the time, despite the fact that he was ostensibly speaking English. I find it tragic that an American, born and raised in this country, speaks English so badly that he can barely be understood. How can he ever get a job? What future does he have? Speaking in such a thick patois that people outside your neighborhood can't understand you is not an aspect of culture that should be admired or protected, IMHO.

The remains of Kamille “Cupcake” McKinney tested positive for methamphetamine and Trazodone, an anti-depressant used to treat insomnia, after the 3-year-old’s body was found 10 days after her abduction, according to testimony Tuesday in a Jefferson County courtroom.

The testimony was revealed in the preliminary hearing for Patrick Devone Stallworth, one of two suspects in the abduction and slaying of McKinney.

Also on the night of the abduction, testimony showed, Stallworth went to a convenience store near his home to buy an energy drink and a pill for erectile dysfunction.

After buying the candy, two preteen girls were leaving cheerleading practice from Hayes K-8 when the two approached them in a blue SUV, Ross said. One of the girls, age 11, said Stallworth told her, "I’m looking for a girl that looks like you,'' Ross testified.

The girls said the man offered them candy. They became apprehensive and the other girl said, “Let’s go.” There was security video from Hayes to back up their story, but it was not close enough to show the occupants. The girls described the female with the male as “dark-skinned” and “chunky.”

Other children told police a man in a vehicle that matched Stallworth’s SUV was giving out candy in the housing community, and said eventually Kamille got into the vehicle with them. “She was crying,” Ross testified a 10-year-old boy told him.

Stallworth said that he walked into the couple’s apartment and saw his girlfriend sitting on the couch with Kamille and said, “That’s not your child.” He said Brown indicated that she wanted to “keep” Kamille and then suggest Stallworth “do something sexual to the child,’’ Ross said.

Stallworth said he refused and went outside to smoke a cigarette. Later, Stallworth said, “Brown put her hands over Cupcake’s nose and mouth.” He described to the detective that Kamille was then “asleep.”

Stallworth also said Brown had removed the girl’s hair bows and clothes and given her a bath.

Stallworth said the next thing he remembered was waking up in bed the following day with Brown next to him.

Testimony also showed that investigators removed a plastic covering from a mattress that was in the living room. That covering showed blood in several places and testing of that blood showed a mixture of DNA belonging to Stallworth, Brown and Kamille.

Collins also pointed out that Kamille’s mouth, vagina and anus were all swabbed for DNA and there was no sign of sexual assault. Reynolds said the condition of Kamille’s body by the time it was found made it difficult to tell what, if anything, had been done to her sexually.

The defense argued that the state had not proved enough probable cause to proceed with the capital murder against Stallworth, however Jones found otherwise and sent the case to a grand jury for indictment consideration.

During Brown’s court appearance, Birmingham Police Detective Jonathan Ross said Brown testified in an interview that she saw Stallworth sexually assault McKinney in their apartment.

Brown’s defense claimed the DNA report from the FBI showed that Stallworth’s DNA was found on McKinney’s fingernails and Brown’s was not. Brown’s defense provided a jail photo in which a small scratch was visible on Stallworth’s torso.

In his final statements Friday, Judge Clyde Jones said it’s evident that Brown and Stallworth worked together and that one or both of them sexually abused McKinney and caused her death.

If convicted, Brown and Stallworth could face the death penalty.

When Kamille “Cupcake” McKinney’s remains were found in a dumpster at an Alabama landfill Oct. 22, the DNA of the man accused of killing the 3-year-old was found under her fingernails, according to court testimony last week.

That man, Patrick Devone Stallworth, had scratches on his chest while in police custody in the days following the toddler’s Oct. 12 abduction from outside a birthday party at Birmingham’s Tom Brown Village public housing complex, investigators said.

Cupcake’s DNA, along with that of Stallworth and his girlfriend, Derick Iresha Brown, was found on a bloodstained plastic cover taken from a mattress in the couple’s home at the Woodside Condominiums in Center Point, AL.com reported.

The man and woman accused of kidnapping and murdering a 3-year-old girl in Birmingham nearly three years ago will not face the death penalty in federal court, prosecutors said Thursday.

In a notice filed in the Northern District of Alabama Thursday, U.S. Attorney Prim F. Escalona and her team announced that the state would not seek the death penalty against either Patrick Stallworth, 42, or Derick Irisha Brown, 31. While both Stallworth and Brown are facing state capital murder and kidnapping charges in the death of Kamille “Cupcake” McKinney, they are only facing kidnapping charges in federal court.

Stallworth and Brown were charged with capital murder and taken to the Jefferson County Jail. On July 29, 2020, the couple were indicted on federal charges of kidnapping and conspiracy to kidnap a minor.

Stallworth and Brown are facing life in prison on their federal charges. However, they are still facing the possibility of the death penalty in state court due to being charged with capital murder.

Emotional testimony over the death of a 3-year-old girl who had been kidnapped days before her body was found in a dumpster was heard during the federal trial of one of her accused kidnappers.

On Wednesday, the trial continued against Patrick Stallworth, who is charged along with his girlfriend, Derick Irisha Brown, of kidnapping Kamille “Cupcake” McKinney from a party in Tom Brown Village on October 12, 2019. On Oct. 23, her body was found in a dumpster outside an apartment in Center Point.

Jonathon Ross, lead detective on the search and investigation of McKinney, was among the first people to testify Wednesday morning. During Ross’ time on the stand, the prosecution played an interview Ross and BPD conducted with Stallworth.

In the video, Stallworth said Brown was the one who kidnapped McKinney and killed her by putting her hand over her nose and mouth.

However, Stallworth’s defense countered with Brown admitting on video that she would lie if the police wanted her to.

Later in the day, Retired FBI Agent Stanley Ruffin took the witness stand and detailed how he discovered McKinney’s body in a Jefferson County landfill.

An emotional Ruffin said, with his voice cracking, “I saw what I thought was a doll. It wasn’t a doll. It was a little girl.”

The prosecution showed images from the discovery of the 3-year-old at the landfill. As the images were only allowed to be shown to the jury, a large whiteboard was wheeled into the courtroom to block the view of McKinney’s friends and family, who took up almost an entire section of the courtroom.

The media was also blocked from viewing the images, but as the images came across the screens in front of the jurors, several wiped tears from their eyes.

Chief U.S. District Judge Scott Coogler is presiding over the trial at the Hugo Black Courthouse and instructed the prosecution to only leave the images up on the screens for a matter of seconds.

The day’s testimony also included Forensic Pathologist Daniel Dye testifying that the antidepressant Trazodone, as well as Benadryl and methamphetamine, were found in the 3-year-old’s system. He also claimed the drugs played a role in McKinney’s death.

Under cross-examination by defense attorney Derrick Collins, Dye admitted that there was no evidence of any injuries associated with sexual abuse.

There should be no question that those convicted in cases such as this should be put to death.

Zero mitigating circumstances.

An Alabama man was convicted Friday on two federal charges in a 2019 kidnapping that led to the death of a 3-year-old girl, whose disappearance from a Birmingham birthday party led to 10 days of frantic searches.

Patrick Devone Stallworth, 42, was convicted on the two kidnapping counts and faces a sentence of life in prison in the abduction of Kamille “Cupcake" McKinney, according to a release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Birmingham.

Birmingham news outlets say Stallworth also is facing a state capital murder charge in the case.

Federal jurors convicted an Alabama woman on Thursday in the death of a 3-year-old girl who disappearance from a public housing community prompted a more than weeklong search in 2019.

News outlets reported that Derick Irisha Brown, 32, was convicted of a kidnapping that led to a death and conspiracy in the abduction of Kamille “Cupcake” McKinney, whose remains were found 10 days after she was last seen following a birthday party in Birmingham. Brown faces life in prison.

Brown's former boyfriend, 42-year-old Patrick Devone Stallworth, was convicted last month on the same charges.

Prosecutors said the two had planned to kidnap a child on the day the girl disappeared. The motive was unclear, with authorities saying Brown might have wanted the girl because she lost custody of her children and Stallworth might have wanted her for sex.

Jurors rejected defense claims that Brown minded her own business while Stallworth committed the crime. The two, who await trial on state murder charges, blamed each other following their arrests.

The monsters accused of kidnapping a 3-year-old girl in Birmingham in 2019 will spend the rest of their lives in federal prison.

On Friday morning, Patrick Stallworth and Derick Brown were sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole on federal kidnapping and conspiracy to kidnap charges. Both of their sentences will run consecutive to one another.

Stallworth and Derick Brown were both found guilty of kidnapping which led to the 2019 death of Kamille “Cupcake” McKinney.

Spina said that Stallworth and Brown are also facing state capital murder charges in Jefferson County. So far, he said they have only been found guilty of kidnapping which led to a death. Spina also said today’s federal sentencing will have no effect on the next phase at the state level.

“They’re parallel actions,” said Attorney Spina. “They aren’t considered double jeopardy. They’re two separate offenses. They’re two separate sovereigns in the state of Alabama and the federal government- two separate crown wearers.”

In capital cases, Spina said the only two sentences that could be handed out are life without parole or death by lethal injection.

- Monday marked the last time Patrick Stallworth will likely appear in court before his trial in March. Stallworth is charged with two counts of capital murder involving the death of 3-year-old Kamille ‘Cupcake’ McKinney in October 2019. The state is seeking the death penalty.

A pretrial hearing is reserved for attorneys to sort out any issues with the judge ahead of trial. While there were no motions, the defense requested more time to prepare for trial. Jefferson County Circuit Judge Alaric May promptly denied the motion stating, “It’s time to get this case tried”.

Stallworth’s co-defendant Derick Brown is expected to stand trial on the same charges in the spring.

Both were sentenced to life in federal prison in 2023 following kidnapping convictions.

McKinney was kidnapped from Tom Brown Village in Birmingham in October 2019. Her body was recovered ten days later in a Birmingham landfill.
