Another Tragedy
April 06, 2006
Mother said "I deserve death penalty" after killing her son
A Mesa, Arizona woman, Vicki Lynn Hulsey, 45, was arrested Monday night on suspicion of first-degree murder and child abuse after her adopted 10-year-old son, Jarod "Jerry" Hulsey, was found dead in their home. Mesa police found the boy dead Monday evening around 5 pm after responding to a 911 call made from the home. A woman who called 911, later identified as the boy's grandmother, told officers the boy was unresponsive and cold to the touch. Police found him dead in his bed, with bruises on his back, side and arms.
Hulsey told police she was raising her son on her own and had taken pills because she wanted to die. When asked if she killed her son, she replied "Yeah, I guess so". Hulsey asked an officer for his gun so she could shoot herself saying "I deserve the death penalty for this". Hulsey was previously investigated on a low-risk physical-child-abuse in Jan 2005 but allegations were unsubstantiated because of a lack of visible injuries on the boy's body.
