'YOU GOT WHAT YOU DESERVED': JUDGE TO KILLER, 14

BABY FACED ASSASSIN
AN evil child killer who tossed a boy from a five-storey parking ramp when he was just 14-years old has had his sentence upheld by a judge who told him: "You got what you deserve."
Omer Ninham, now 27, was part of a four-strong group that accosted 13-year-old Zong Van as he rode back to his Green Bay, WI home with a bag of tomatoes for his family. After punching him, they chased him to the top floor of a parking ramp where they cornered him.
Along with another boy, babyfaced assassin Ninham grabbed Van by his wrists and ankles and tossed him off.
A bystander on the ground said he heard a sound: "like a wet bag of cement hitting the pavement." Now 27, Ninham had appealed his sentence for first-degree intentional homicie, calling it "cruel and unusual."
The judge disagreed saying the punishment fit a crime that "cannot adequately be reduced into words."
Supreme Court Justice Annette Kingsland Ziegler wrote: "We confirm what objective evidence already informs us: Contemporary society views the punishment as proportionate to the offence."'
Ninham's attorney, Byron Stevenson of the Equal Justice Initiative, vowed to appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court.
