LEXINGTON, Ky. -- A Lexington man has pleaded guilty to killing, raping and sexually abusing a 2-year-old girl he was babysitting.
Brian Crabtree, who is 21, faces a possible life sentence in the 2008 death of Katelynn Stinnett after entering the plea Monday.
Police say Crabtree was watching the child and her brother while their father, Daniel Stinnett, was at work. The children's mother, Angela Johns, was estranged from Stinnett at the time.
Prosecutor Ray Larson told the Lexington Herald-Leader that he is recommending life without parole on the murder charge, 20 years each on rape and sodomy charges and five years each on two counts of sex abuse. He said he did not seek the death penalty because Crabtree has a low IQ.
Sentencing was set for Nov. 4.

"Crabtree has a low IQ"Apparently, so did the child's parents.The Death Penalty is TOO GOOD for this slime, and low IQ doesn't change the fact.

The amazing part of this story to me is that this guy faces life and not the death penalty in Kentucky.

not always true. We had a similar case in my hometown. A guy raped a baby to death and he received a prison sentence instead of the DP. That was going on 20 years ago. He’s still alive in prison.

Give him to me. He will take a long, long time to die.

Chinese solution: shoot him in the back of the head, bill his family for the cost of the bullet. Just sayin'...

Life in prison as a child molester will a better punishment than death. He deserves to suffer.

There are creatures that walk our planet wearing human suits. While they appear to be human, they are not. They prey on humans. Always be careful.

You put down mad dogs. Doesn't mean you hate dogs, it isn't because you want to punish the dog, it is just something that needs to be done to protect everyone. Anyone so sick they would abuse a two year old needs to be eliminated from society so they cannot hurt anybody else ever again.

and low IQ doesn't change the fact. I used to live in Kentucky. I was born in Louisville, hence, my screen name. That said, I hate Lexington. It's a liberal sewer in an otherwise decent state with an obviously liberal DA.
