(NEWSER) – “I have never seen anything like this," says the Oak Lawn police chief in suburban Chicago. The case he's referring to makes for grim reading: Police say a 61-year-old woman killed her 6-month-old granddaughter with a sledgehammer and a knife, reports CBS Local. Alfreda Giedrocz is charged with first-degree murder, and police haven't speculated about a motive. The Tribune says she "stood impassively" in court yesterday and needed help understanding the proceedings from a Polish translator. She is a naturalized citizen who has lived in the US since 1983.

The slaying happened Sunday morning. Police say the baby's father, Giedrocz's son-in-law, dropped off the infant, then went across the street with Giedrocz's husband to work on the home of the Giedroczs' son. Left alone with the baby, the grandmother retrieved a sledgehammer she had placed in a closet the previous day, say authorities. "The defendant then hit the victim repeatedly in the head and body with the sledgehammer," says a state attorney. She then used a kitchen knife to cut the child's throat, he says.

w...t..f would possess someone to do something like that? I mean really? At what point do you look at a fukin 6 month old and decide smashing it with a hammer is what's good? Let's assume she's not bat shyt crazy, in the sense that she doesn't know what she's doing (e.g. she's delusional and thought she was helping work on the house across the street) but instead had her full faculties about here....wtf goes through a mind to end at doing some shyt like that?

Why do you say that? She would probably get better care and remaining quality of life as a death row patient than she would doing a life sentence, and at her age, the difference between her natural death and her execution date probably wouldn't be too far apart, considering how long a death penalty trial of this magnitude takes.
