From the AP:

A former Ohio police officer has been convicted of murdering his girlfriend and her unborn child.

Bobby Cutts Jr. could face the death penalty.

Cutts cried on the stand during the trial as he told jurors he accidentally killed Jessie Davis by putting an elbow to her throat. He said he panicked and dumped her body in a park.

Prosecutors say Cutts strangled Davis over mounting child support.

The couple’s young son was found home alone and gave investigators their first clues in the case. He told investigators “Mommy’s in the rug,” and “Daddy’s mad.”

Bobby Cutts is a loathsome individual who put on quite the theatrical performance in court last week when he took the stand. He sobbed as he told the jury that his girlfriend’s death was only an accident.

The problem is that he cried for about 30 minutes and not a single tear rolled down his face.

So either Mr. Cutts has tear ducts that don’t function or he’s a damn liar. I’m convinced it’s the latter.
