A Colorado woman was sentenced Friday to 38 years in prison for beating a man to death with a baseball bat because she wrongly suspected him of molesting a child, The Denver Post reported.
Forsythia Owen, 32, of Englewood, was convicted of second-degree murder, first-degree assault and tampering with evidence in the September 2013 death of Denzel Rainey, 42.
Owen told authorities she repeatedly struck Rainey with a Louisville Slugger bat as he was sleeping in an alley because her 4-year-old daughter claimed he had touched and sexually abused her.
Rainey was found with a skull fracture, cuts to his head, a broken left arm, six broken ribs, a laceration to the liver and a left testicle hemorrhage, CBS Denver reported. He died hours later at a hospital.

When it comes from the MSM, we know absolutely nothing.

About the talent in the minor characters, Gone with the wind and Casablanca come to mind. There were a lot of excellent minor characters in those too.
BTW, I rarely watch anything out of Hollywood anymore. I stick to Independents and foreign films for the most part. I do watch a lot of old Hollywood classics. With the price of good audio and visual equipment so low I have watched some really good "B" horror movies lately.
Everything that I watch is from the computer since my DVD player quit picking up youtube, so B movies is just about all that I see on youtube , and most of those are terrible horror movies.
Good. Little children have complete capacity to lie. Especially little evil children.
If you kill an innocent person you are a murderer.
Not true. By age four they know what areas re bad touch. They know they arent supposed to tuch others there and others arent supposed to touch them there.
They can lie because they kow they can get people into trouble saying such a thing.
How do they know he did? Can ee all start accusing you of every crime we wnt and then say how do we know you haven’t done them?
Guilty before innocent. Lovely. Little kids lie and/or sometimes dont undersfand what is being asked of them.
“But she doesn’t look like a Forsythia.”
The bloom came off, apparently. Still a horrible story for everyone involved.
“How do we know he wasn’t the right guy?”
He was never charged with the crime and the perp acknowledged she made a mistake.
However, if you want a justice system compete with executions based in the whims and imaginations of four year old kids, I think you are living in the wrong country.
Well if he was so ignorant he couldn’t just say honey I am putting i n a furnace and she was to ignorant to go ask him or go see it, well then they both got what they deserved lol
Easy boy!
It was only a play!

>> “He was never charged with the crime” <<
Has a dead person ever been charged with a crime?
.
But still no info about the dead guy.
It’s interesting but not surprising that a New Orleans publication would be interested in the case.
Okay, but was the 4 year old tested before clearing the dead hobo of any wrongdoing?
So, it is your option that random unjustified vigilantism is fine, but only up until the point it is you who ends up on the business end of a Louisville Slugger?
As a person from the east coast, I sure do miss the forsythia we had in our Long Island, and Maryland yards.
Don’t see it in Calif.
Given the mother's history of domestic violence, it may well have been her.
Owen is well-known in the community. She spoke often to neighbors, who say she's a mother. "Most of our conversations were just like, 'hi, how are you doing? Your daughter is really cute,'" a neighbor, who did not want to be identified, said.
