Rains was arrested Tuesday afternoon. During hours of questioning, he told detectives he found out his girlfriend was speaking with another man.
A 22-year-old Albuquerque man is in custody this morning after allegedly shooting and killing his 9-month-old daughter Tuesday afternoon.
Police say the incident began when Christopher Rains and the mother of the child, 18-year-old Ashley Trujillo, argued over whether she was involved with another man.
Police say the two had been sending text messages to each other through the day when Rains decided to go to the house on General Chenault Street about 3:00 Tuesday afternoon.
The two reportedly got into a heated argument and Rains is alleged to have pointed a .45 caliber pistol at his child’s head and pulled the trigger.
“He made a comment to Ashley and that comment was, ‘Was it worth it?’, after he had shot his own child and relayed to the mother, ‘Was this all worth you seeing another man?’.”
Rains then, according to police, called police and admitted to killing his child. He remained at the house and was taken into custody when officers arrived.

I don't know where this myth got started, and perpetuated by the movie industry. There is really no moral code amongst criminals and they don't really care who you've killed or what you did. There is always some sort of hazing of new inmates, and while it may be true that chesters (child molesters) get a harsher round of it they usually don't "catch a shiv to the back".
I have many friends that are CO's for both private prisons and metro jail, and am relatively certain that it doesn't happen like most would think. Do some research and you'd be hard pressed to find any evidence of this.
I'm not one for vigilante justice. This guy deserves a trial, and deserves to be sentenced to certain death (not possible death by another inmate). I am a firm believer that people who commit crimes of this magnitude deserve no less than lethal injection.
I worked as a confinement officer for the county in the 1970's and again in the mid 1990's. We segregated baby killers and those that hurt children from the other inmates because of the very reason that something would happen to them if other inmates got a hold of them.
Maybe, but I don't think that it happens as often as stated by many. Again though, I want certain punishment not the possibility of..
It probably does not happen that often but I think the real reason it doesn't is due to the fact that those that commit crimes of this nature are seldom put in with the general population. I could tell you stories of some of the most hideous, ghastly crimes you could imagine. Things that I will not elaborate on here because of the women and children that are part of the USA Carry family. All of those prisoners were placed in isolation cells where no one could get to them.
Executions are way more expensive than LWOP.Awesome...that means that he gets to sleep, watch TV (including HBO), eat, have shelter, etc all on the taxpayer dime. Quite a reward for killing a baby- the government taking care of you for the rest of your life!

ok forgive me if this sounds a little harsh but people like this make me sick. His entire time in the criminal justice system should be no nore than 1-2 days.
