Man who killed teen girlfriend he thought was pregnant wanted community service

[XemaSab]

A man who suffocated his 14-year-old Brooklyn girlfriend because he thought she was pregnant — then burned her corpse and stuffed it in a suitcase — asked if he could do only community service for the crime, court papers reveal.

After confessing to killing Shaniesha Forbes in January 2013, Christian Ferdinand, 22, asked cops, “Do you think I can get some kind of community service?” according to documents obtained by The Post.

A Brooklyn jury took just an hour Monday to find Ferdinand guilty of second-degree murder for the heinous crime — ensuring that he now faces up to 25 years to life behind bars.

The evil killer dropped his head on the courtroom table when the verdict was read aloud.

We live in a culture of violence against women.

1. yea we live in a culture of violence

[badtoworse]

2. Besides being a low-life, he sounds like a dim bulb.

[Aristus]

3. He IS doing community service.

By taking him out of the community's population and keeping other innocent people safe from this monster, he's doing the community, and the entire world, a deeply-needed service.

Rot in jail, creep...

4. Real brain trust, that one.

Turns out he did if for nothin', too, since she wasn't really pregnant.

My heart breaks for that little girl and her family.

[Odin2005]

5. Jesus fucking Christ.

[nomorenomore08]

24. My exact reaction.

[shenmue]

6. Good Lord

[vi5]

7. He has to be slow or have mental issues.

I mean yes, anyone who could do something like this has mental issues. But I mean in terms of asking that question or even thinking it's a possibility. Even the most cold blooded of killers are aware of what punishment they face for their crimes and likely wouldn't even entertain that as a notion.

[LordGlenconner]

11. Or maybe he's sane, and not slow, but merely delusional?

That seems to be a possibility as well.

[vi5]

16. Someone who is delusional, is not sane.

People with no mental or emotional issues do not have delusions.

[LordGlenconner]

17. So if I smoke but think I'll never get cancer

I'm insane?

If I eat fatty foods that cause heart disease, but don't ever believe I'll have heart disease, I'm insane as well?

You should probably rethink all of that.

[vi5]

23. What?

You're really comparing the two?

And yes, if someone really believes that their body is immune from proven effects of actions I would say that person suffers from delusions.

Most people that do the things you listed at least realize and understand that there is a chance of the effects you listed. They may be rolling the dice on them being able to beat the odds. And if they legitimately do not believe that they themselves can have it happen to them, then yes I would say that is a delusion and it is bordering on a mental issue.

13. Maybe he simply has no concept of the female as a real human.

[Ilsa]

21. I think you nailed it.

She was like a pet, a dog, or she was property to him. She meant next to nothing to him.

[nomorenomore08]

25. Except most people don't just kill/dispose of their dog or cat like it's nothing.

Seems like she was more of an inanimate object than a pet to him.

[XemaSab]

22. yup

:\

[Blue_Tires]

19. Or, he perhaps he just thought of his girlfriend

as a plaything to regularly get his rocks off, and once the pregnancy made her a 'liability', she was disposable...

EDIT: Not even 24 hours after killing his girlfriend, this little shit checks into a hotel with his ex....

[malaise]

33. His girlfriend? She was fourteen

that was statutory rape over and over again.

[Blue_Tires]

34. yeah, I should have put "girlfriend" in quotes

[Odin2005]

30. He was a grown man fucking a high school freshman, he's probably just an asshole.

[NaturalHigh]

8. So he's not only an abusive psychopath...

he's a moron to boot. How could a 22-year-old man think he was going to get community service for killing his 14-year-old girlfriend? I'm guessing he was never destined to be a brain surgeon in the first place.

[Kalidurga]

9. Well the raping killer isn't getting enough time behind bars

I think he should be behind the bars of a psych ward for probably life. But, I guess that isn't an option anymore.

[progressoid]

10. what the f...?

[Initech]

12. No, throw him in solitary confinement.

This asshole definitely deserves to be removed from society.

[Liberal_in_LA]

14. no, he's not rich and privileged

[hifiguy]

15. "Imbecile" would seem to be an accurate descriptor of this klown.

Enjoy the Big House, idjit, you more than earned it.

[Omaha Steve]

18. What was he thinking???

[nomorenomore08]

26. Maybe he expected everyone else to be as nonchalant about the killing as he was?

[WillowTree]

32. I could be wrong, but I don't think that thinking is his strong suit. Just sayin'.

[Brigid]

20. Do they have Mensa chapters in prison?

Here's their next member.

[whathehell]

27. Well, it's not like

he killed a real person, she was just a "bitch", after all.

[JustAnotherGen]

28. So he was already in his 20's when he killed his

14 year old girlfriend?

The wrong started there. Shame on him for that alone.

But prison will suffice for the murder.

[Feral Child]

29. Fuck That Sick Fuck. n/t

[Orrex]

31. Seriously? You'd think that he would have to pay a small fine, at least.

[maced666]

35. Probably wants to keep his Beats headphones as well

Go rot.
