Man guilty of murdering girlfriend, burning their baby alive

A judge found Jimmie Reed Jr. of Detroit guilty of multiple counts --
including first-degree murder -- for shooting his girlfriend and then
burning their baby girl alive.

He faces a mandatory sentence of life in prison.

Reed, 31, admitted to police that he shot his 31-year-old girlfriend,
Markeda Byas, in the head as she slept in the early morning hours of
July 20, 2006, at an apartment in Pontiac, saying it was an accident.

Prosecutors said Reed then placed 2-month-old Arctavia Reed in her
dead mother's arms and returned hours later with gasoline, poured it
on the baby, lit a match and continued to pour as the baby screamed.

"It is probably one of the most heinous homicides I've seen,"
Assistant Oakland County Prosecutor Barbara Morrison said.

Defense attorney Sanford Schulman argued that there was no evidence of
premeditation, an element of first-degree murder.

He also said there was no evidence to refute Reed's claim that it was
an accident.

(...)

Morrison said that after Reed shot Byas, he took another woman to a
doctor, went to another woman's house, took a nap and went to work.
