Update
I don’t know if they thought there was a chance Ramos would get off or not but the Orange County prosecutor offered Edwin Ramos a plea deal. Rather than face a jury trial for 1st degree murder he copped a plea to second-degree murder. That would leave the death penalty off the table and give him anywhere up to life in prison. Judge Walter Komanski took the prosecutor’s recommendation and gave him 30 years.
They also arranged a meeting between Ramos and Carmen Torres, Kenny’s mother because she really wanted to know if he was sorry. I don’t doubt at all that his remorse was sincere but that certainly doesn’t negate the need to punish him. While I am usually pretty hardcore about the death penalty, not everyone should be put to death and if Ramos is kept in jail for life I believe that justice will have been served.

…but when it was a toddler he knew how to fix that situation.
Orlando, Florida police arrested Edwin Ramos Wednesday afternoon on charges of murder and aggravated child abuse.
Ramos’ was watching Kenny Torres, 21-months-old, while his mother was at work. Apparently Kenny tipped over a wastebasket of marijuana and spilled some of it and then did it again. Ramos said that the child was ‘seemingly taunting Ramos’ so he picked Kenny up by the throat and squeezed him until the boy’s face turned blue. He then threw the child repeatedly on to the bed. Must have been some pretty potent weed…
Little Kenny was hospitalized with retinal hemorrhaging a a bruise on his forehead. He died this past Saturday. The autopsy concluded that his death was homicide.
Currently Edwin Ramos is being held without bail at the Orange County jail.
It’s the stories about children that have no way to protect themselves from scumbag fucks like this one that just really get to me.
There is also a pretty heated discussion going on at the Topix forums right now involving some of the folks that have posted comments here and what appears to be an ex-girlfriend as well. Go check it out if you have the time.
Don’t believe everything you read. This is total BS. Stick to what you know managing Waffle Houses.
you cant judge somebody ,.,by what u read in the paper,.,
Very very crazy..
Which part is BS, the part where he choked the toddler? Or maybe the part where he threw the child on the bed at least four times according to what HE TOLD THE POLICE? I’m more than willing to change the post and or update it if more facts come to light but as it stands right now he is the one that confessed.
When you searched Google for Edwin Gabriel Ramos and found this site, what are you doing, going around to any site posting this and rectifying the ‘facts’ as you see them?
If you know something other than what has been posted please feel free to share. I will attempt to verify them and be more than happy to update the article. I don’t want something up that isn’t true but unless you have something else besides “This is total BS” then I have to figure you don’t know what the fuck you are talking about.
That’s very true. The dude may very well have been a really nice guy but the fact that he has admitted to killing a kid makes him a child killer and a criminal. There’s not a lot else to say beyond that.
The simple fact is you are passing judgement on something you have no knowledge of. Your being spoon feed by the media just like a baby.
Its one think to duplicate the article, its another to duplicate, add your commentary, then post it on Digg???
I’m not sure what your trying to gain by doing this. More hits?More Traffic? your the only one that dugg it.
You seem like a decent enough person with a hobby, but until Mr. Ramos actually confesses with a lawyer present or in front of a judge, I will not pass judgement and neither should you.
Please stick to your Tramp Stamp Tuesday articles??LOL. They suite your site much better.
I don’t have any sympathy for anyone that hurt or kill a child. I don’t understand why a mother would leave her child with someone so irresponsible. The mother had to know that this guy smoke or sold weed. I think some of the blame has to be put on the mother. The fact still remains that little Kenny was killed at the hands of somebody that was in the house.
All u guys need to really mind your bussiness. edwin is a close friend of mind i know something in this case aint right… and he didnt kill that baby… theres some pieces missing in this case… i love edwin dearly and i know edwin for yrs.. and theres no way he would hurt a child…
i agree, edwin is a very close friend of mine, and i have never known him to violent or temperamental. i hope ur right and this really isn’t how it happend. this is an absolute nightmare
What’s missing? If he didn’t kill the child then he didn’t and I will stand corrected and correct the post as well but unless you have something else to offer then the facts as we know them right now stand.
From what I understand the guy has no prior criminal record but that doesn’t necessarily mean a thing. ACloseFriend, I saw where you had also posted over at the Sentinel about checking some girl that is pregnant with his baby? Would you care to elaborate on that? I’m sure that the police might be interested in the facts as well. Perhaps it’s a case of Edwin covering for someone?
just b/c he’s going to have a baby does not make him father of the year!!! u might think u know some1 really well but u never know what a person is capable of. he knew what he did was wrong. if he didnt then why did he come up with a detailed story?? he changed his story and told the truth once the evidence proved the first story was wrong. he is scum. and he will get whats coming to him. and if he didnt do it then why did he admit to it? edwin is not that gallant, he wouldnt take blame for something he didnt do. he got caught and knew it. he had no where to hide and no one to help get him out of this. its his doing and only his. as the case unravels it will prove what really happened and whose really at fault.
listen .. strong opinions u need to mind ur business and if u dont know shit then just keep ur mouth shut… Cuz i know what going on theres something missin in this case….and u r right it will come out in court and hopefully the truth comes out .. that its not him… and i believe he admitted to it so his girlfriend wouldnt suffer… becuz days before that he never said he hit the baby.. that came out of no where… and there had to be some arrangement between him n his girlfriend that he takin the blame… becuz i know edwin … hes family… and hes not like that … i put my word on it…. and the whole thing about his girl bein pregnant… I say Ask Her…… And Richard i do believe this is a case that edwin is covering for someone…
I truly don’t think he could have done this.. I have known him for so long and there is no way in hell that this child taunted him enough in order for him to kill him. I know his family and I know his little brother, if this is a case of taunting he would of murdered his younger brother years ago because that kid there is a pain in the ass. So believe when I say that this is all some kind of set-up so that his stupid ass girlfriend ( the dead childs mother) doesnt go to jail just because she is pregnant. The bitch didnt even cry at her own sons funeral! Isnt that a bit odd? According to some other close friends she has been just peachy keen.. No mourning… nothing.. I say the cops do a little more investigating on her.. And I understand that he admitted to doing it but I know him.. And he folds under pressure.. He has always been the one to just say what people want to hear.. and thats what happened… He didnt kill him.. And I will be more than willing to testify in front of anyone to prove he is not guilty.. If known of you know any details its best you don’t comment because believe me when I say there is alot that we know and have heard from his mouth before he was arrested and I say its enough for me and all of his friends and family to know that he is innocent.
I’ve known goldo for a long time and i know him inside out!! he would neva do something like this… I have never seen him lose his temper or get mad not even with me even when i was the biggest pain to him!! I believe something is up! i just cant see him doing this for weed i dont think so cuz he wouldnt make a big deal about a garbage can!! Edwin told me so much stuff before this happend that makes me stand by him 100%. all of ya know wat the media says but those of us that know him personally know that he isnt that person we know the gentle funny guy!!!!
I keep hearing this and I want to believe ya’ll so how about some information. I’ll even keep it OFF the blog if you email it to me. I corresponded with a few members of Erin Maxwell’s family the same way and changed some of the details of my post on her as well.
The media always blows things out of proportion but in this case so far they seem to have it right. This post is going to stand as-is until I see more information I can verify.
he did it.. hes a monster..rot in hell
Dawg told me on Sept 13th that the baby choked on a piece of pancake. I felt sorry for him when I asked him where was the baby (he was with the baby’s momma) and he told me that the baby choked on the pancake, that it expanded in Kenny’s little throat and he choked. I gave them $40.00 to help them out (something told me to do it). Three days later I’m learning that they had arrested Edwin for the murder. I’m going to wait I don’t judge anyone. That’s why there are professionals.
You seem like a decent enough person with a hobby, but until Mr. Ramos actually confesses with a lawyer present or in front of a judge, I will not pass judgment and neither should you. I think he will not disappoint me.
Considering that he pleaded guilty to 2nd degree murder what the heck else are you wanting?
first of all im not scared to put my real name! and second of all i have said it before he’s a pussy. thats why it didnt fo to court, he plead out because he’s too pussy to go through the trial and get sentenced for murder 1. and he doesnt feel sorry. and the people that said they would testify…. u would only do it to help out your “friend”. there is a baby that was murdered by that scum and u people the the nerve to stick up for him. u are no better then he is. if u have kids and u trust him with them then ur crazy. i say he needs life. he needs to suffer how that poor baby did, but then again thats the easy way out for him. i pray that he gets whats comming to him…. an he is!
