Baby Raped, War Vet Accused

I say this often, but just when you think you have heard it all you hear something like this.

Iraq war vet accused of baby rape

JACKSON, Mich. - A former Army paratrooper who served two tours of duty in Iraq has been ordered tried on charges of raping and critically injuring a 3-month-old girl.

Kirk Coleman is charged with first-degree criminal sexual conduct and first-degree child abuse, charges that carry up to life in prison.

Authorities say the then-27-year-old Coleman attacked the baby Sept. 14 in Jackson County's Blackman Township, about 65 miles west of Detroit.

The girl sustained brain damage and 17 broken bones and is undergoing therapy. District Judge R. Darryl Mazur ruled Tuesday there's enough evidence to warrant a trial.

Coleman allegedly told investigators he blacked out after drinking heavily and taking painkillers and awoke to find the injured baby in her crib, The Jackson Citizen Patriot reported. WILX-TV says he remains free on $100,000 bond.

Coleman's attorney Dennis Hurst said the burden of proof is low at this stage in the process, and that he believes his client will be found not guilty at trial.

Hmm, can we guess what this sick son of a bitch will use for a defense? He had Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder as a result of serving two tours of duty in Iraq. Quite frankly, I don't give a damn what his excuse is. Nothing will ever excuse rape, period!!

This was a 3 month old baby. She now has brain damage, and he broke 17 of her bones. He deserves to spend the rest of his life rotting away in a jail cell. Fuck the Vet status. Fuck the "hero" status. This piece of shit raped a BABY. He deserves to rot!!
