Jayden Straight Other News
An 18 year-old killer was jailed for 100 years after battering his eight month-old baby daughter so badly her skull was totally shattered. Jayden Straight was handed the century-long sentence Friday after admitting the July 2018 murder of baby Raija Straight in Des Moines, Iowa. The killer, who was 17 at the time of the murder, left his baby suffering serious internal injuries, including multiple skull fractures, broken ribs, a ruptured spleen and massive retinal hemorrhaging. Straight’s partner Ri Bambino left him in the care of their tiny daughter on the afternoon she was fatally injured to go and run errands.
After handing himself in the next day, he was unable to provide any explanation for the wounds inflicted on Raija, and has since failed to provide any motive for his daughter’s death. A doctor who treated the baby in hospital before she died said the injuries were ‘from a deliberate assault and could not be explained as unintentional or accidental.’
The Des Moines Register reported that Straight was jailed for 50 years for second-degree murder. He was handed a further five decade-long sentences for three counts of willful injury and two counts of child endangerment resulting in serious injury. All six sentences will run consecutively, meaning Straight will not be released from jail before 2119. Paying tribute to Raija, the infant’s great-grandma Robin Head said: ‘When I saw this child’s face and what she has brought to me for the last eight months of her life. ‘I can’t never explain that feeling of holding her, laughing with her, touching her, walking with her, crawling with her.’
