Father Who Beat Two-Year-Old Daughter To Death To Turn Her Gay Smirks During Sentencing


Even the attorney representing 23-year-old Donovan Lamar Haynes called his client “deranged” just before he was sentenced to 18 years in prison for killing his two-year-old daughter in order to make her a lesbian.

Genesee Circuit Judge Joseph J. Farah said yesterday that the allegations against Haynes were “astonishing” and among the most unconscionable he’s heard during his time on the bench. Haynes was sentenced after pleading no contest to second-degree murder.

In reviewing the pre-sentence investigation report, Judge Farah noted the circumstances surrounding the child’s death, particularly the fact that Haynes said he beat his daughter in order that she would dislike men and avoid them in the future: “You don’t beat her in hopes she’s going to turn gay,” Farah said.

When the child, Ti’Airra was pronounced dead at the Hurley Medical Center, after she had stopped breathing in her home in the Flint Township, the medical examiner’s report noted that she had died of internal bleeding from a lacerated liver. Adult bite marks were also found on her body.

The Attorney who was paid to represent Haynes, Elbert Hatchett, said to the judge about his client: “This case is a case that defies reason, logic, common sense. It’s a tragedy to see the life of an innocent child snuffed out for no reason at all. I don’t have any sympathy for him. Hopefully, judge, he will repent.”

After the sentence was handed down, Haynes reportedly smirked and laughed, almost as if he was playing with the court, and showed no remorse whatsoever for the crime he had committed.

What is possibly more worrying is the fact that Haynes is not considered to be suffering from any significant mental illness, suggesting that his actions were carried out when he was in his right mind.

Either way, this is a case that has shocked many people, most of whom think Haynes should be getting a far more severe punishment.
