Tristan Robinson
2007 - March 2, 2011
Find A Grave Memorial
When searching for information about this beautiful little boy, I saw pictures of his mother looking all sad and like
she had been crying. WHY do the people who kill these innocent children then go on to look all sad as though
their lives are over and they have been wronged? I have asked myself that question so many times I lost count.

Terrie A. Robinson, who was 24 years old at the time, put her son, Tristan Robinson in the oven and turned it on.
Terrie called 911 and what was found horrified even the strongest of men. Claiming her son had been burned in
the oven, Terrie called ermergency services and when they arrived at her home, they found Tristan's body inside
of the electric oven, just after midnight. Tristan's body was still warm when the emergency crew had to remove it from the oven.

Later, Washington County Coroner Methel Johnson said that an autopsy would reveal if Tristan had been dead or
not before he was put into the oven. Methel said there had been some head trauma, though he wasn't sure at what
point the head trauma had happened:

"This is a really sad moment for me. I've seen a lot of things, but this is one that will stick
in my memnory for a long, long time"


Another child, a little girl, was found in the home and was taken away to the Mississippi Department Of Human Services, though it wasn't known if the other child was Terrie's or not. Terrie's twin sister, Sherrie Robinson told people not to judge her sister:

"She was a great parent, a good person. We don't know what's wrong. We
don't knowwhat happened. Do not sit there and call her a bad mom
cause that's not what she is"

Really??? What's WRONG with you, Sherrie? We DO know what happened! Your sister KILLED her son, she put him into a hot oven and she cooked him until he was dead. Not a bad mom? Terrie Robinson is one of the WORST kinds of mothers there is. I suppose someone will try to say she was mentally ill, sorry, if you're ill, you get help, you do NOT kill your child! Where is your love and symapthy and compassion for your nephew? I am SO SO SO tired of people defending those who kill their children. I'm tired in my mind, body and soul. Sherrie, LOOK at
the face of your nephew and please soften up your heart for HIM!
Terrie was charged with murder in the death of Tristan and bond was set at five million dollars by City Judge Michael Prewitt during Terrie's first court appearance. Methel Johnson said that the autopsy revelead that Tristan HAD been alive when his mother put him in the oven, though a pathologist was trying to figure out if he had been conscious or not.
