The lawyer for a suspect in the shooting death of a Georgia baby who was killed in his stroller says his client is "absolutely" not guilty.
"My client is absolutely, 1,000 percent not guilty," public defender Kevin Gough, who represents 17-year-old De'Marquise Elkins, told The Associated Press. He made the comments Monday, while preparing for Elkins' first court appearance on a murder charge. It was scheduled for 2 p.m. Monday.

Maybe it was premeditated.
I probably didn’t communicate clearly. Essentially a bunch of hoodlums moved in and think this is their turf. Pretty sure its racial as they dont seem to like white people.
I took it as a threat as his big brothers were there as well.
Little ones pick up the tone of the dominant males quickly and very clearly.
Hope you are packing.
That's what I thought (not that he planned to shoot this particular child and mother...any 'cracker baby' would do).
It's almost like a gang initiation or a rite of passage.
The lawyer for a suspect in the shooting death of a Georgia baby who was killed in his stroller says his client is “absolutely” not guilty.
“You can have my lawyer after you pry my cold, dead fingers from around his neck.
