« State Supreme Court: No new trial for David Swain | Today | Update: High court takes 'gap kids' case to students » May 13, 2008Bunnell trial: Delestre takes the 5th, tot's mother wails
Delestre, like Bunnell, has been charged with murder and conspiracy to murder. He refused to answer when Bunnell’s lawyer, Gerard H. Donley, asked him whether he was in Woonsocket on the date of the murder, Oct. 30, 2004. He refused to answer when he was asked whether he knew Bunnell or Thomas J. “T.J.” Wright, the 3-year-old child he and Bunnell, T.J.'s aunt, are accused of beating to death. He refused to answer when he was asked whether he was at the apartment he and Bunnell lived rented at 2229 Diamond Hill Road. While Delestre was on the witness stand, T.J.’s mother, Karen Wright, was outside in the corridor, wailing, “I want my baby back! I want my baby back!” “He killed him. He did that. He did that,” Wright said, referring to Delestre. Wright, who is Katherine Bunnell’s sister, was unaware that Delestre was going to be called as a witness. Her children, who included a 10-year-old boy, David, and 6-year-old boy, Mickey, as well as T.J., were being taken care of by Bunnell and Delestre because Wright was serving a 2 ½ year prison sentence in 2004 in Illinois for possession of marijuana. The developments came on the last day of testimony in the trial. This morning, Bunnell took the stand, giving an account of how T. J. was hurt that differed from the prosecution's presentation, which includes testimony from the babysitter there at the time. Read about today's testimony from Bunnell, who took the witness stand in her murder trial. Read about yesterday's testimony, in which a relative said he tried to save T.J. -- Journal staff writer John Castellucci Posted by Mike McKinney Commentsd | May 13, 2008 8:05 PM link I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE ANYONE COULD ATTACK A CHILD. SAL | May 13, 2008 9:52 PM link Relative fresh out of jail drunk, but the only one with enough sense to call 911, but yet had to testify under guard because he is back in jail NOW for felony assault. Mother currently in jail doing 2.5 years for MJ POSSESION. Drunk sister who is the caregiver with her equally drunk degenerate boyfriend. What a cast of characters, somebody should remove all the children from this ADAMS FAMILY before they hurt them all. When will a law be written to stop degenerates like this from procreating. Unfortunately we all pay the price for free will and nature. Rest in peace little guy, it might not seem like it but your better off than with the animal pack that you were unfortunately born into.

Why was a 20 or 21-year-old girl given custody of 3 children in addition to the 2 she already had? 5 children for a couple both under 25. It's ridiculous, I hope DCYF is reevaluating their placement processes after this tragedy.
