This week, Drewby and Yergy head to Dallas, Texas, to discuss the case of Jabraylon Bables, an adorable toddler who was killed by her mother's felon boyfriend, Carnelus Simmons. One evening while Carnelus was allegedly making Hamburger Helper, Jabraylon suffered 3rd degree scaling burns to 30% of his body. Carlneus claimed this was an accident, but when little Jabraylon succumbed to his injuries, the medical examiner determined that the toddler was intentionally submerged into a pot of boiling water.
