Emanuel Lawrence Is A Heavy Sleeper

November 25, 2009 by Jaded  

Sunrise, FL – Emanuel Lawrence is a man with priorities – on the top of the list: Ganja, X-Box, and sleep. He’s got a couple of kids that fall somewhere in the middle of said list. Authorities allege that between November 17th and November 18, Emanuel engaged in a little recreational relaxation of the mary-jane kind before pulling an all-nighter in front of the X-Box. Emanuel told police that he crawled his unemployed ass into bed at about 6:00 a.m. on the 18th and had been asleep for about 45 minutes before his girlfriend woke him up and asked him to feed the kiddos. Emanuel’s girlfriend, Inez Gonzalez, has her priorities as well – she works during the day and goes to school at night. Pity she couldn’t count on her man to properly take care of business at home. Emanuel got up, fed the kids, and returned to bed with his infant, 7-month-old Jaidyn, and Jaidyn’s 3-year-old sister, Aaliyah. He placed Jaidyn between himself and Aaliyah and fell into a heavy, heavy slumber. When he awoke, 7.5 hours later, he discovered he had rolled over on the baby – she was dead.

What to do? What to do? Emanuel, quick thinking genius that he is, put Jaidyn in her crib and Aaliyah in the living room and dashed over to a friend’s house to call 911. An excerpt from that call:

Operator – 911, where’s your emergency?
Caller – I don’t know if this is an emergency or not.
Operator —I’m sorry?
Caller – My infant, she died in her crib when I got up and I don’t know how long she’s been out for.
Operator — Is something on top of her face or something?
Caller — No, but when I fed her this morning, I wrapped her up. She um, I guess she cried through the blanket and was breathing and I guess she suffocated herself. That’s my point of view of what happened.

He later admitted to the attempted cover up for fear of being arrested. Emanuel told investigators that when he awoke, his back was on top of and against Jaidyn’s back causing her little face to be squished down in the mattress. Though the medical examiner has ruled Jaidyn’s death an accident, Emanuel isn’t getting off the hook. For that brilliant show of irresponsibility, Emanuel Lawrence, 30, is charged with aggravated manslaughter – he is being held on $75,000 bond.
