Jamar Pinkney Sr., 37
Jamar Pinkney Sr., arrived at his 15-year old son’s home where he lived with his mother to exact corporal punishment on his son for doing the deplorable. According to ABC, his son had revealed to his mother that he had “inappropriate contact” with his 3-year old sister.
Lazette Cherry, the boy’s mother, called and alerted Pinkney Sr., to the startling news and wanted him to deal with the boy. Surely in that moment, the family imploded. The man was beside himself. A mailman “for years” he had no previous record. But, now has probably reasoned that he would give his life if he had to take his son’s.
What parent would ever think they would be faced with bringing literal action to the phrase, “I brought you in this world, I’ll take you out”?
The father pistol whipped the boy and led him outside to a vacant lot naked where he shot him in the head. The Detroit family is now facing Ms. Kim Worthy, the prosecutor that hunted, penned, and figuratively castrated the former mayor of Detroit, Kwame Kilpatrick. The man has been charged with first degree murder and, judging from Worthy’s record, will seek nothing less than a life sentence.
At this time, the reporting of what the boy may have done to the 3-year old was unclear. It is also left to imagination what the man may have heard from the boy’s mother that could’ve set him off in this way. It is our hope that he had undeniable reasoning for his mind to leave him.
Read more details on this disturbing tragedy here. All of the circumstances are devastating and tragic on every side of this family. Our prayers go out to them all.

It is my hope that this man ROTS in jail. What is most shocking
is hearing the remarks of SOME people in Detroit. First of all –
Major Media reported that there was NO – NO – NO sexual assault, or ANY sign
of sexual abuse (hospital reports). 2. What is the relationship between this mother and her estranged husband –Did she, exaggerate the issue for some unknown reason? Was the boy learning disabled in any way –Was HE sexually
abused in some way that we’ll now never know of. Lastly –a SANE parent finds out the FACTS – discusses the issue, seeks counseling (IF needed). I cannot imagine this young boy’s terror (HOPE HIS MOTHER IS HAPPY) in his LAST minutes. My God – keep me away from Detroit if anybody thinks that this is the way to handle a situation. I hope this guy ROTS in jail.
