Baby Grace's stepfather denies having part in slaying

GALVESTON — Royce Clyde Zeigler II says he was in his bedroom listening to his 2-year-old stepdaughter's screams and took no part in her slaying, according to two videotaped statements shown to the jury Wednesday during his capital murder trial in the death of the girl who became known as Baby Grace.

“I did not harm Riley to kill her,” Zeigler said during a Nov. 3, 2007, interview he requested with investigators after his arrest in the death of Riley Ann Sawyers, whose then-unidentified body had been discovered a month earlier in a blue plastic box that had washed ashore on an island in West Galveston Bay.

The nine men and three women jurors, on the first day of a trial before District Judge David Garner, also saw a second videotaped interview that Zeigler requested the following day.

=========================================================

This is a very heinous crime. Kimberly Trenor and Royce Ziegler should be executed by being drawn and quartered. Too easy. I say infect them with the Ebola Zaire virus and every deadly and nasty disease.

Hey asshole, by ignoring her screams, you are just as guilty as the person doing it in my opinion.

They must both be absolute psychopaths, and neither of them should see the light of day again until they are walking to their execution.

What could a child - any child not just a 2 yr old - possibly do that would make someone beat them with a belt, hold their head under water, smother them with a pillow and crack their head against a tile floor enough to crack their skull in 3 places?

Not a damn thing!!!!

Forget a trial..... :angryvillagers:

String 'em up.....take giant cigars and burn them all over their bodies.....skin 'em.....let the birds and bugs have at them until they are dead.

I like it. Now, the idea of having the birds and bugs having it is degrading for them. Even animals don't do this. Trenor and Ziegler deserve the worst layer of Hell along side with Hitler and Stalin. They are truly worthless. Anyone who makes excuses for them are just as bad.  :bird:

Stories like this is make me prefer animals to humans.

Where can we find an Apache to take care of these pukes? They reeaally knew how to do it! Many American Indian cultures could teach the boys at Gitmo a thing or two. I wouldn't mind learning, myself.

Stepdad guilty of killing 'Baby Grace'

GALVESTON, Texas, Nov. 7 (UPI) -- A Texas man has been convicted of killing his 2-year-old stepdaughter, whose body was found by a fisherman washed up on a Galveston Bay beach.

Zeigler's lawyers argued he only helped his wife cover up her daughter's death and pointed to the lack of evidence he was involved in the killing. Trenor was convicted this year and sentenced to life with no parole.

Jurors said they decided to find Zeigler guilty because he did not call 911 as Riley was dying in the couple's home in Spring.
