Staff Writer A Nashville jury Thursday convicted a couple in the slaying of a 4-year-old boy whose body was dumped in a west Nashville park two days before Christmas in 2003. It took roughly three hours for the jury to find the child's mother, Martha Patlan, and her boyfriend, Genero Espinosa Dorantes, guilty of felony murder and aggravated child abuse. The pair will automatically receive life sentences for the felony murder conviction, which means they will have to spend 51 years in prison before being eligible for parole. Davidson County Criminal Court Judge Steve Dozier will sentence the pair on the child abuse convictions on May 25. When the scalded and burned body of Luis Cisneros was discovered face down behind a dirt mound in West Park on Morrow Road, it touched many people in west Nashville.
Finally, a decent sentence for a child's torture and murder in Tennessee. |

Well, at least that's something. They deserve a lot worse....but hopefully they die in prison a lot earlier than that...

And if Crash could help figure out a way around conspiracy charges & other potential criminal violations, I'd love to "reward" anyone in prison who offs these scum with a nice little rememberence in their commissary accounts....

Sounds fair to me. Unfortunately the taxpayers will be supporting these individuals, three hots, a cot and probably ESPN, Showtime and HBO.
