Have fun trying to get these guys free:

Thursday night, July 18th, at 6 p.m., Andy Walters stopped to buy a case of beer, and headed home to 5243 Comanche Trail in Las Cruces.


Three people-- Walters, 21, Stephanie Lopez, 19, and her twin brother Steven Lopez, 19, drink through the evening.


Stephanie went to bed after about three beers. According to court documents, Andy Walters and Steven Lopez admitted to playing with Stephanie and Walters's 5-month old daughter, Brianna.


Police records show that Walters and Lopez threw the child into the air, causing her to hit her head on the ceiling 3 times, then dropped her twice on the floor.


Andy Walters told investigators that Brianna was conscious and crying.


At around 12:30 a.m., Friday morning, Andy Walters fell asleep not knowing where Brianna was.


At three in the morning, Walters says he awoke to find Brianna on the floor near the bed. He said he wrapped her in a blanket and put her in a bouncer.


By 7 a.m., Brianna needed a diaper change. Stephanie Lopez asked about the bruises on Brianna, and according to court documents, Walters admitted that he and Steven Lopez "played a little rough with her".


Walters changed the diaper and took a baby wipe, wrapped it around his index finger and inserted it into brianna's anus.


The complaint also states Andy Walters admitted he bit Brianna on several occasions, but he told Dona Ana County Sheriff's Deputies he is not not the only family member to bite Brianna.


Walters also told authorites that Stephanie Lopez pinched and threw Brianna out of frustration.


The uncle, Steven Lopez, admits to throwing Brianna in the air and not catching her. Steven Lopez claims to have drunk ten beers the previous night.


During his interview with Sheriff's Deputies, Steven Lopez admitted to having sex with Brianna Lopez.


By 10 a.m., July 19th, Stephanie Lopez checks on her daughter, notices Brianna is not breathing, and she calls 9-1-1.


11:10 am, Friday July 19th, five month old Brianna Lopez died at Memorial Medical Center in Las Cruces.


Autopsy results show Brianna Lopez had 11 bite marks on her body, broken ribs, skull fractures, bleeding of the optic nerves and brain swelling.

Having been in many internet discussions, my guess is that you believe there's an obvious discussion-related point to your story.
