I live in Summerville and followed this case for the entire time. This was a horrible crime and the child was badly beaten. The child had 23 points of contact on his face and head (including knuckle marks around the eyes) I find it hard to believe that three other adults lived around this kid and never knew that he was being abused. This child was both verbally and physically abused by Hillerby over a period of time. My guess is that the night this crime was committed, Hillerby was drunk and high when he committed this murder. He was found guilty and deservingly sentenced to life without parole. The factors that really convinced the jury was Hillerby's own stupidity in calling his girlfriend from jail and basically admitting to the murder. This guy is a white trash piece of shit who thought his roofing job, beer and joints made him a tough guy. The fact that he is going to prison in SC as a small 5'6 120lb child murderer is a BAD deal for him. He will have to serve his time in protective custody like Charles Manson has done. There will come a time, however, that other inmates will get to him probably both physically and sexually. I pray for baby Blaise because he never had a chance around that jealous lunatic. Have fun in prison tough guy.

UPDATE DEMON!! HILLERBY WAS FOUND GUILTY OF HOMICIDE BY CHILD ABUSE & SENTENCED TO LIFE IN PRISON THIS WEEK!!!! PRAISE GOD, THANK YOU LORD!! ENJOY LIEBER CORRECTIONAL YOU SORRY A$$ P O S!!!!

Jury finds Hillerby guilty of homicide by child abuse

Alcohol does not make people kill babies.

I'm am Justin's aunt. His mom is my sister. I lived too far away from them most of my life. It's killing me inside. My fondest memory is when my sister and Justin (2 yrs old at the time) had the flu. I held Justin, wrapped up in a blanket while his mom dragged herself into the drugstore for medicine. It just makes me cry when I think of this tiny blonde haired, quiet, little boy and to see what he has become. Last time I saw Justin , he was about 12 yrs old. I talked to him on the phone briefly about a decade ago when I called to speak to my sister. His biological father is an alcoholic and was not a good influence in his life. My sister was in the military most of Justin's life and was overseas many times. He was left with his grandma and later his stepdad John, who is/was a good father figure to Justin. His problems started when he hit the booze. All his crimes, including this latest, are related to alcohol. His past mistakes could be taken care of and he could have turned his life around,,,,but NO, now he will never be able to fix this. You cannot bring back a child's life.

ok let me tell you this I know the roomates...
the roomates major white trash (Mr. Eric has 3 children by 2 diff. woman doesnt take care of, see, send money nothing, he is a heartless deadbeat 26yr. old peice of dogg shit who didnt even pay to live in the house sat on his ass and did drugs and watched porn all day... and Miss Brandi a meth head who drove a stolen car never worked and drove around sleeping with men for drugs...) so a man(little boy) who doesn't care for his own why the hell would he ever care for someone elses child who he most likely heard being killed??? yea ok!!! so to this think before u speak at least know who the hell your defending cause honestly I do know them and there not worth being defended ok, peices of DOG SHITTTTTT and so is the peice of crap who killed that baby!!!!!!

I’m turning all red now. I honestly can’t get into these bastards mindset. I have done bad things in my life but harming a child seems contrary to natural behavior. I don’t even have kids but my head still jerks up when I hear a child in distress. I just can’t see how people can become monsters like these two cock goblins.

MWA - it's because you are NORMAL. Normal people can't imagine doing to a child what Justin did. Normal people don't call 2 year olds pussy's. Normal men don't need to beat up babies to feel tough.
Justin was the pussy. Justin is not normal. Justin needs the shit kicked out of him and Jennifer needs her twat stapled shut. No more babies for her. Penis is her main priority - convict her of Blaise's murder and throw her into a male prison. She will get all of the penis she can handle there - So will Justin.

That is why MWA is the bombdiggity.

That is so true, I have my mom, my grandmother (or Maw Maw as we call her in true southern fashion) and a slew of aunts, and they all taught me so much about things like compassion, empathy, and moral character.

I do believe that behind all “decent” men, there is a woman to thank - be it a mother, sister, aunt, family friend, etc. Men learn how to treat women by the female influences in their youth. This is why I treasure my relationship with my son. I am doing everything in my power to raise the best man I can.

Nothing, absolutly nothing he could have done would warrent that kind of beating. It sucks that you and your dad didn’t get more time with Justin, sounds like all of this could have been avoided if his mother had been more of a mother.

I hate to sound like I'm defending this monster but Jennifer is to blame here. She set forth a pattern of abuse. She allowed Justin to throw him in the pool and call him a pussy. She participated in getting drunk and verbally abusing him. Blaise may not have died by her hand but he died by her actions. That makes her just as guilty as Justin.

Poor little baby. what could a child so young possibly do to deserve a beating like that?

I know the answer to that question! The answer is NOTHING!! Blaise could have done nothing to warrant being beaten and thrown into a crib, in pain, in the dark, scared to die alone wondering why his mommy didn't protect him. I am so angry at these two. I am more mad a Jennifer than Justin. Defending the man that admitted to murdering your baby?!?!? HE ADMITTED IT!! Yet she thinks the cops are trying to make him look bad. I just can't wrap my damn head around it. You would have to cage me to keep me from kicking his friggin' skull in.

I knew someone that went to prison - he told me that he wasn’t the only one doing time - his mother was doing it also. It’s just stupid. How easy is it NOT to kill a little boy. How easy is it to think “Yeah, maybe I should call his mother to come home instead of beating him to death”???? How easy is it just to walk away from a child that has tested your patience? Nope. He killed Blaise. She is a whore for defending him. And now they are both going to pay. But along with them, grandparents, friends, neighbors, teachers and everyone that reads and is touched by this story. Fuck them. Really… Sorry for the rant. It’s Monday, I’ve had it with corporate bullshit and my husband froze my fucking wine. I said cold, not frozen. Her comes the chainsaw enema… Grrrrrrr…..

All children will test your patience, no doubt. It's a test...most people pass...this one failed miserably.

Poor little baby. what could a child so young possibly do to deserve a beating like that?

Everytime in my life that I have lost my temper or considered doing something stupid, the thought of my family suffering has always kept me grounded. Maybe its part of what seperates “us” from “them”.

People who do this shit don’t realize that their actions hurt people. Even people that aren’t directly involved.

I can’t think of anything to add to the comments here. Bitch, cunt, douchebag… they’ve all been used. Poor baby.

Buckle - You got that one right!

olanna - I'm sorry to hear that this douchebag's action have affected your family the way that they have. People who do this shit don't realize that their actions hurt people. Even people that aren't directly involved. Hang in there.

Olanna - I’m sorry that you had the misfortune of knowing this monster. Did he have anger issues as a child?? Curious?

Hum, how much can I post without making it sound like I am defending his behavior, which I am not.

He was a sweet and loving little baby and little boy. My Dad was married to this kid's Mom for a short time. My Dad adored Justin. He was a bright kid that was sweet and easy going.

After his Mom left my Dad, she moved from person to person, so I heard, and Justin suffered for it. She let him run wild, so I was told, and who knows what happened to him when she wasn't around.

His real father was never involved in his life. Now lots of people have really awful childhoods. So if Justin did this, he needs to have the dignity to stand up for what he did and take his punishment.

My Dad is just so hurt that all this happened, but in his own words, he warned Justin's Mom time and time again, she needed to be involved in his life and keep him on the right track.

I'll be sending a letter.

I can't think of anything to add to the comments here. Bitch, cunt, douchebag... they've all been used. Poor baby.

That is the ONLY comment I have seen or heard from her since Blaise's murder in reference to Blaise at all. (although she's had PLENTY to say about Mr. Wonderful Justin Hillerby!!)I have about as much pity for Jennifer Spoerl as she had for Blaise. Which is NONE! And the more that ppl that knew, or worked with her have to say, the more I despise her. According to them she has always been a cold hearted foul mouthed alcoholic bitch. Screw her, I hope she goes to prison for the full 10 yrs.

THIS IS WHAT SHE EMAILED ME AFTER I LEFT A COMMENT ON LIL BLAISE OBIT.

Shes good but she needs to be home with the people that care about her most. I am not trying to get him out of jail however i still cant and dont want to believe he did it on purpose. i dont know if the media has it correct because i haven't been released that much info. why? yes i went out... with friends to dinner and to a bar afterwards for two hours i came home at 1230 not 145 no i didnt check his room dirrectly but i checked his monitor whch i always do. Blaise was always a lite sleeper. opening the door would have woken him up. i am not a bad mother.... i just stept down at my job for lesser hours cause of them . i am lost right now. they are my life. i am not suicidal however i believe it's only cause i have serena in my life still. losing a child has been really hard and i dont believe i have come to terms with that yet. i wake up thinkin i hear him moving around. Please just support my sanity right now cause thats all i have right now. Thank you for your thoughts and please pray for us... always Jennifer

This poor kid was nothing but a nuisance to these two maroons. They couldn't even be bothered to save him while he was struggling in the pool. If I had to rescue that poor kid multible times some body would have had to rescue this douch's ass.

mjmsepm - She is a useless cunt. Poor little Blaise was beaten to death while she partied and the best she can do is defend the boy's murderer. She claims the the cops are "slandering" Justin when he fucking admitted it. I'm sure she is more worried about not having a car than going to bed at night and not seeing that precious face in the morning. Fuck her. I hope she's fucking miserable without her son and her penis behind bars.

darn it now it shows my post!!! I didnt mean to post it twice!

They are all sick — Not ONE of them mentioned Blaise on their myspace pages!!!!!! It’s all about them —- What a shame!

Please tell me it's not the cunts myspace that calls herself a mom! She is bitching about not having a car and a child is dead!!!

Police: Boy nearly drowned
Snipped from The Post and Courier
Edited a bit

On the last day of Blaise Spoerl's life, he fell into a swimming pool and nearly drowned while his mother and her boyfriend were drinking, arguing and listening to music nearby.

Other swimmers had to rescue the 22-month-old boy, police say, as he fell into the water "multiple times".

"It was a normal day, we spent the day at the pool," she said. "We ate dinner, put him to bed and when we woke up, he was already passed."
At the time, Spoerl said that she wondered if her son might have had water in his lungs.

Hold the phone! Is she trying to say "she" was there when he was put to bed? Hmmmm. And water in his lungs killed him? OH! OK! So that's why there was blood all over his face! I get it........NOT!

Police reports suggest that Spoerl left the boy with Hillerby that evening while she went out with friends.

Can we say..... contradiction??

This is only the latest trouble for Spoerl. She also faces a simple assault charge in connection with a fight she had with Melissa Georgoulis (mother of Hillerby's child) She was having a drink with Hillerby at Dorchester Lane on May 29 when Spoerl came in, threw a drink on Hillerby and punched her in the nose.

Georgoulis filed another complaint with Summerville police Sept. 17, claiming that Spoerl had made harassing calls to her on the day Hillerby was charged with her son's death.

Wow... what a grieving mom! Note -- that's TWO days after her son's death!

"She (Jennifer) says the media is making him look bad and the police are making him look bad," Georgoulis said. "Well you know what, he is bad."

You go girl!

Well Jennifer is technically charged with "endangerment" which can lead to a sentence of 10 yrs. We don't have "enabling" yet as a crime here but this is a first step in the right direction. They charged her with what they could find on the books & set a cash bond instead of a PR which is also a good sign. Things are starting to change.

More Details!

WOOO HOO I am dancing too.


I am soo glad they arrested this POS bytch. I just really hope enough folks write so that she can get as much of those 10 possible years as possible to help wipe that freekin smirk off her face.

Thank you Zibarro. I did read the post after dinner and beers with friends. Shame on April - Drunk posting....

I feel greedy… but I want MORE charges and HARSHER charges! I know — probably aren’t any to use… but DAMN I wish there were!

I agree! She needs to be held accountable and I'm hoping charges are upgraded. She was supposed to care for and protect this baby!

April asked:

JD Vehorn - Welcome!! Do you have any info on contacting the Berkeley County Solicitor?? I agree that she should be charged. Her actions got the ball rolling on this baby’s death. She should be held responsble. I feel that the house mates should too. Do you know anything about them??

I feel so bad for the baby that died. And I feel bad that Justin didn’t have anymore self control.

This is simply tragic. I used to baby sit Justin when he was a baby. He is about the same age as my daughter. I haven't seen or heard from him in about 15 years. What an awful thing to happen...

We,(the citizens), are trying hard here in Summerville to get her ass locked away with Justin's. Jennifer can get a sentence of up to 10 yrs for the crime she is charged with. You don't have to be from SC to send the Berkeley County Solicitor an email or letter or even phone call asking them to go after the maximum with Jennifer. Charging the enabler is somewhat new for SC. I pray it is a sign that our lawmakers are taking child killing very seriously here. (Although I personally prefer the death penalty for child killers) Love your sight & thank you kindly for the attention & care you have shown Blaise. Many Blessings to you all.

I wanted to say that… but remembering so many who are non-believers… didn’t want to start a debate…lol.

I am pretty much a non-believer, but I have my moments.

I agree - She shouldn't have gotten off so easy. She had a duty to that child and she failed him. She may not have murdered him but she did nothing to protect him. LAughing at the BF for calling him a pussy doesn't count either.

I look at her pic and want to slap that look right off her face! She LOOKS like a bitch! A “cunt bitch”…lol

A selfish cunt bitch. Those are the worst. Is there a cunt bitch hunting season?? Sign me up!

THERE IS A GOD!!!
