This happy face belongs to 26-year-old Jericho Wright, who worked as an independent contractor for a few newspapers in his area.
Ok, he was a paperboy.
Jericho Wright had an agreement with his ex-girlfriend where each of them would take custody of and care for their 3-year-old love child, Liadan Eva, for a week at a time, switching off every week.
On the week of the 24th of February, 2008, Jericho Wright had Liadan Eva, and at about 3 in the afternoon Jericho discovered that Liadan had gone and had an accident in her bed.
Most people with children know that accidents happen. Kids forget to go, they get distracted, they get tickled and lose control, and sometimes, they just can’t be bothered.
Potty-training happens, and when it does, it’s not a personal insult directed towards you, or something the child dreamed up to keep you from playing on your Xbox 360 for 20 minutes.
You have to wonder what Jericho Wright was thinking when he hurled his 3-year-old daughter into the shower, slamming her head against the side of it.
Did he want to watch television? Was Jericho Wright’s Sunday afternoon Gilligan’s Island marathon being interrupted?
Was he playing around on the Internet, perhaps reading People You’ll See In Hell?
What was Jericho Wright doing that was so important that warranted casually inflicting injuries on his daughter, including cuts to her lips and bruises over her body? Were those cuts and bruises inflicted with just one toss into a shower, or were they something that happened over a longer period of time?
Regardless of what Jericho Wright was doing that was so important, he got the toddler clean, at least.
And dead.
Jericho Wright told police that he didn’t see the need to call for any kind of medical attention when his bruised and bleeding daughter complained of being tired at about six in the evening. Instead, he put her to bed and checked her out when he got up at three in the morning to deliver his newspapers.
According to Jericho Wright, when he came back home for a bit at half past five in the morning, he went in again to check on his daughter and found her cold and stiff to the touch. Instead of calling anyone, or performing CPR, or praying to any one of many fine deities, Jericho went back out to finish his paper route and collect his thoughts, returning at nine that morning.
And he still didn’t call anyone.
No, upon returning to the residence where his dead daughter was, Jericho Wright didn’t pick up the phone - he picked up a bottle of wine and a bunch of aspirin, downed it all and woke up over eight hours later.
Then he called the cops.
I suppose with all the malice and wrath in the world that we’ve seen lately, we should be happy that Jericho Wright didn’t eat her.
Jericho has been charged with murder.

He didn’t even have the guts to try and kill himself painfully. Aspirin and pills just don’t cut it.
I am all for letting these people weed themselves out, it keeps everyone else from having to even be in the same room with this kind of malignant skinbag.
This reminds me to give an extra hug to my almost 3 year old.

That poor baby girl. It makes me want to cry thinking about her just laying there dead all that time and nobody cared. He didn’t have the decency to call anybody to take care of her poor little body. Too bad he didn’t just shoot himself in the head and get it over with. He probably thought he would get some sympathy since he DID go and try to “kill” himself. puhleeeze. That bastard needs to fry. I wish it wasn’t considered cruel and unusual for it to take a looong time for these wastes of skin to die.

Hey, he should go to hell just because he soiled a good name. I love Jericho!

If you’re talking about the TV show, I love it too!!! :)

What a puke. I don’t need to read the story….Already read it on another page..but he is disgusting..
[Reply]
And….was it common practice that he just leave her ALONE in the wee hours of the morning to go do his ‘paper’ route?
[Reply]
Bring him to New York and let’s toss him off the Empire State Building! I’d really want to toss his ass from 102 onto the suicide fences on 86. If he rolls onto the deck he might live - for a while or if he rolls the other way down to 80, he’ll leave a nice stain on the building letting everone know that we are finally dealing justice to those who kill babies and toddlers!

I don’t understand all of these people with the same last names….It bugs me. It’s like it’s in their name DNA or some crazy shit. Like they have a reputation to stand up to.
[Reply]
Fred, I oppose your idea. A landmark as good as the Empire State building does not need to have this scum touching it.
[Reply]
Fred reply on March 3, 2008:
Good reason to oppose my idea.
I got engaged on the south side of the deck on the 86th floor.
A stain on the Empire State Building would annouce that the Justice System no longer belongs to the criminals & their lawyers, but rather to the victims & those who care more about the victims than the criminal; that criminals will be punished rather than rehabbbed!

When are we going to start sterilizing these losers?
[Reply]
I agree with all of you. I live in the town where it happened, and I found out yesterday that I’m related to the scumbag, which just sickens me.

Why all the psycho-violent replies, are you better than the person you want to torture to death? Because it’s really not showing, folks.

Meaghan reply on March 2, 2008:
The difference is that WE haven’t tortured anyone to death. We only think about it.

Kim reply on March 3, 2008:
Of course we’re better. Meaghan is right. We don’t torture innocent people. We only want to torture the bad ones. Nothing wrong with that.

Sean,
It’s natural to want to hurt someone who does something violent to someone people identify with (in this case the victim), but you are correct that it makes people less than humane to act on these impulses. Mob justice is a figment from a time when the only justice available was from a mob. When used in a reasoned and social way it still has some uses, but when added to any physical and/or violent impulse it usually turns negative.
Wishing this person would receive more severe punishment can lead to something more positive. It can focus enough attention on the problem that maybe someone can figure out a way to direct a more lasting impediment for the underlying crime and thus prevent future criminals from killing their children so negligently.
I’d encourage you to let people have their anger and their outbursts. People who lose people have a lot of pain and anger to get out, and others may find valuable lessons taught in these parables that are more poignant with the commentary. Some people don’t have the moral compass to truly understand how abhorrent some of these people are. Perhaps with the weight of the commentary they can relate to how some people find these actions so abhorrent and fill that weakness and void.
If your intention is to completely short-circuit this anger, I think you miss the point of having such an open forum. Your words can admonish some, but adding insult opens the path to debate and argument, and it’s quite possible you can lose that argument and further entrench your opponents position.

I hope some really big fucker in prison picks him up and slams his head into a wall. At least 10 times.

Molly~ You can go to hell with him and on your way down there go ahead and lick my snatch bitch! If this was my child I would not call the police and kill the bastard myself. I don’t think I would serve much time for it. and BTW this IS our business! As long as I’m part of the human race when other people do such vile things, it becomes my business! Haven’t you ever heard of ‘judgement of your peers”? Come on..defend this fucking POS I’m ready to conteract you! Dumb Bitch!

SpaceElvis reply on May 15, 2008:
apparently molly feels that there may be a good reason to beat your own child to death in the shower. ifthis were my child i would want the entire world to talk about it. i am assuming you are either not a parent, or just a sucky one
[Reply]
Dearest Molly,
You sound like a woman I would like to date. Could we get together? I would love to take a hot shower with you, bang your head against the wall a few times and fuck you in the ass with one of Jericho’’s rolled up newspapers. Sound like fun bitch? Call me anytime.

I see how my husband looks at my daughter everyday - with love and adornment. SHE is his HEART…. People that do these things to their own children have a super special spot in the pits of hell waiting just for them. How anyone could ever NOT want to send this bag of shit straight to hell???
[Reply]
im a memeber of leidans family, and immediate member. she was an angel, and while it isa bit upsetting to see the details posted everywhere, it is nice to see people feel hatred for this man as i do. our babygirl didnt deserve this, as no child should, and to leave her laying there, in pain, was she calling for us? i dont want to imagine what she went through. i hope hes murderd in jail

OMG parents are killing their children! What to do?
Well, here’s what we SHOULD do:
Let’s have some fun!
Let’s exchange some body parts. We will start with two POS that have something in common.
I’m thinking we should hack off Wright’s limbs and exchange them with Sofia Nino’s limbs.
Hey, you want Sofia to have a penis? No problem! A little surgery won’t hurt anyone especially if we do it with our very own die cast, high tension hacksaw!
It’s capable of cutting through metal pipes with ease.
You want Sofia to have hairy arms? NO problem! We’ll just saw off Wright’s arms at the scapula and fasten it to Sofia’s!
You want Jericho to be a short fat winch with saggy tits? NO PRO-BLEM! We’ll just saw of their heads and interchange them. It’s that easy with our trustworthy hacksaw! We will never bore because the possibilities of interchanging are endless!
Get your hacksaw today for a mere $32 from your local hardware store. Thirty-two dollars is a pittance to pay for the disposal of two dumb sacks of shits.
