Alabama Couple Charged With Capital Murder in Kids' Deaths

Authorities say a grand jury has indicted an Alabama couple on capital murder charges in the gruesome deaths of two young children last year.

The Mobile Press-Register reports  that Heather Leavell-Keaton and her common-law husband, John DeBlase, face two counts of capital murder in the deaths of his children, 3-year-old Chase DeBlase and 4-year-old Natalie DeBlase.

The indictment states that the defendants intentionally caused the children's deaths by "poisoning and/or asphyxiation and/or starvation and/or dehydration."

DeBlase's attorney, Jim Spears, said his client pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity.

Mobile County District Attorney Ashley Rich said she will seek the death penalty.

Leavell-Keaton has also pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity. The two children were reported missing in November.

Thanks for posting this 4Donks.  Insane, of course they are -- but legally so.  I don't think so.

Richard said he asked repeatedly to see his two grandchildren in the months before they died, but was never allowed to visit. It's why he supports a bill aimed at giving grandparents visitation rights.

"At least we would see them and know what's happened in their lives. Many people have come to us and say, 'I want to see them, be a part of their lives,'" said DeBlase.

Except the lives of the two children were cut short. Police believe Natalie was killed in March of 2010, and Chase was killed in June 2010.

Richard said he partially blames himself for not being there to protect them. He prays others won't suffer the pain he has. He believes legislation is the only option.

"I thought the bill itself was very well drafted and didn't override the rights of the parents. That's why I was surprised to the Supreme Court shot it down," he said.

State Representative Harry Shiver of Bay Minette sponsored the bill.

" House Bill 348 is now the new state law. It has not been tested in an Alabama court. My bill is a product of the Troxall Case of 2002 from the Supreme Court of the United States of America. The Supreme Court of the USA wrote a 75-page brief about Grandparents Rights. I know that over 50 percent of grandparents are raising their grandchildren. When grandparents are raising their grandchildren, they need our laws of the land to reflect this. Thank you for requesting this information. I sure hope that a grandparent somewhere is helped by this bill. This information by your news report should help all grandparents to know that we do have a viable law in the State of Alabama," Shiver said.
