ATLANTA - A woman accused of helping her husband kill their 8-year-old to rid her of a demon pleaded guilty to murder Tuesday.

Valerie Carey, 29, was sentenced to life in prison for the Jan. 19, 2004, stabbing and strangling of Quimani Carey at a downtown Atlanta motel.

Carey and her husband, Christopher, were found walking down busy Piedmont Avenue naked in freezing temperatures with their two other children, then 6 and 2, on their shoulders.

Police discovered Quimani on the floor of their motel room. Pages ripped from the Bible were thrown on and around her body, and her arms were broken.

Prosecutors said Christopher Carey had stabbed her with a knife until it broke, while she tried to fight back.

Valerie Carey held the girl while her husband broke her arms, and then she strangled Quimani.

Valerie Carey believed that her family would be transported to a planet inhabited by red dragons after Quimani was killed, and spread out her arms waiting to fly off, according to one of her attorneys, Susan Wardell.

Mother had a troubled history
After undergoing treatment while in prison, Valerie Carey, who has a long history of mental illness, said she now understands what happened and mourns Quimani's death, blaming it on her husband.

"He kept us isolated and trapped in a different world," she told the judge. "That was my baby. He took her from me and ruined my life."

The family kept moving into cheap motels and homeless shelters, where the children were deprived of food and bathing, Fulton prosecutor Anna Green said.

She added that Christopher Carey also beat the children, especially Quimani, who asked to go to school.

As part of a plea agreement, Valerie Carey, agreed to testify against her 31-year-old husband.

He remains jailed without bond and faces a possible death penalty unless he agrees to plead guilty.

I prefer to exorcise my demons by Pagan customs... and sex my way out. But I guess if it floats your boat, sail it!

Who's going to take GWB to a nice little exorcsim? That guy has as many demons, Father Merrin better brings the entire Vatican into the room.

I suppose next you're going to claim that this is an "unscientific" way to expel demons and that demons may only be expelled through a gradual process of random trial and error where the ultimate means to expel the demon is determined only by which iteration is successful.

No. I fully support the science Demonology, to be taught at your favorite American school as an alternative to,hmmmmm, maths? Philospohy? Religion?

Or even as an alternative to school itself.

Should George H.W's and Barbaras license be subsequently revoked?

Actually, that seems to be the best way. Why would you choose any iteration except that which has been successful?

No.

But they should spent the rest of their lives in an abbey, praying to God, Mr.Intelligent Design or whatever else is hip in the US right now, trying to make up for the disaster they fabricated.
