Teen guilty of murdering Georgia baby in stroller<br />
KATE BRUMBAC<br />
Associated Press<br />
MARIETTA, Ga. — An 18-<br />
ear-old man was convicted of murer<br />
in the shooting of a baby who<br />
as riding in a stroller alongside his<br />
om in a town in coastal Georgia<br />
espite the defense's attempt to cast<br />
uilt upon several others, including<br />
he child's parents.<br />
Jurors deliberated about two<br />
ours before finding De'Marquise<br />
lkins guilty of 11 counts, including<br />
wo counts of felony murder and<br />
ne count of malice murder in the<br />
arch 21 killing of 13-month-old<br />
ntonio Santiago in Brunswick. <strong>The</strong><br />
an's mother, Karimah Elkins, was<br />
n trial alongside him and was<br />
ound guilty of tampering with evience<br />
but acquitted of lying to<br />
olice.<br />
De'Marquise Elkins faces life in<br />
prison when he is sentenced at a<br />
later date. At the time of the shooting<br />
he was 17, too young to face the<br />
death penalty under Georgia law.<br />
His lead defense attorney, public<br />
defender Kevin Gough, vowed to<br />
appeal the verdict. A judge denied<br />
his request for the teen to be out on<br />
bond during the appeal.<br />
"Marky Elkins and his family are<br />
confident that he will receive another<br />
trial in which he will be able to<br />
present fully his defense," Gough<br />
said. "Mr. Elkins will eventually be<br />
exonerated."<br />
Karimah Elkins' attorney, Wrix<br />
McIlvaine, said he would talk to his<br />
client and that they would likely<br />
appeal.<br />
Sherry West testified that she was<br />
walking home from the post office<br />
with her son the morning of the<br />
killing. A gunman demanding her<br />
purse, shot her in the leg and shot<br />
her baby in the face after she told<br />
him she had no money, she said.<br />
Prosecutors, who declined comment<br />
after the verdict, said during<br />
two-week trial that De'Marquise<br />
Elkins and an accomplice, 15-yearold<br />
Dominique Lang, are the ones<br />
who stopped West. Prosecutors say<br />
the older teen pointed a small .22-<br />
caliber revolver at West and<br />
demanded money. When West<br />
refused several times to turn over<br />
the money, Elkins fired a warning<br />
shot, shot the woman in the leg and<br />
the baby between the eyes, prosecutors<br />
said.<br />
<strong>The</strong> killing in the port <strong>city</strong> of<br />
Brunswick drew national attention,<br />
and the trial was moved to the<br />
Atlanta suburb of Marietta owing to<br />
extensive publi<strong>city</strong> locally.<br />
Prosecutors have said information<br />
from Elkins' mother and sister<br />
led investigators to a pond where<br />
they found the revolver. Elkins' sister<br />
also was charged with evidence<br />
tampering.<br />
Lang, who was a key prosecution<br />
witness in Elkins' trial, is set to go to<br />
trial at a later date.<br />
West told <strong>The</strong> Associated Press<br />
that she didn't want to say too much<br />
following the verdict because there<br />
are still other trials pending in the<br />
case and she will be a witness and<br />
she will testify at Elkins' sentencing.<br />
"I knew why I was there and I<br />
knew that I didn't have my baby<br />
anymore," she said. "In the beginning<br />
I was in shock. Now things are<br />
kind of really setting in. But I'm<br />
hanging in there."<br />
West spent hours on the stand<br />
during the trial and was grilled by<br />
the defense on her personal and<br />
medical history.<br />
"I was a little nervous up on the<br />
stand and just being asked so many<br />
personal questions by the defense<br />
attorney," she said in a telephone<br />
interview. "It was embarrassing."<br />
<strong>The</strong> defense tried throughout the<br />
trial to prove that the investigation<br />
was flawed and that police refused<br />
to consider other leads or investigate<br />
further once they had Elkins in<br />
custody the day after the killing<br />
"<strong>The</strong>y finished their case in 25<br />
hours. Everything else they did after<br />
that they just sugarcoated,"<br />
Lockwood said.<br />
<strong>The</strong> prosecution's witnesses —<br />
many with criminal histories and<br />
some drug users — lied repeatedly<br />
and changed their stories throughout<br />
the investigation, Lockwood<br />
said.<br />
