Vinnie Barbarino was killed 34 years ago? It was brother against brother outside a New Jersey courtroom here Tuesday morning, as the children of a local family marked by its extensive criminal history offered conflicting accounts of how their 6-year-old brother, Vincent Barbarino, was killed 34 years ago. (NYT)
What?

Arnold Horshack did it. In the Audio/Video Room. With the blow dryer.

When?

Apparently, the poor kid was murdered in 1972. Welcome Back Kotter, with a character named Vinnie Barbarino went on the air in 1975?

This case has been all over the TV up here. Really sad and maddening story.

"In the version advanced by prosecutors, Joseph sexually abused Vincent repeatedly, then, when the boy resisted one day, stabbed him to death and broke his skull while Michael watched."

Jesus! I'll stop the shtick now. This is just sad.

Heartbreaking. My mom deals with cases like that all the time (the sexual abuse, not the murder).

My first thought, without reading the whole sorry, awful case, was wow, there really was a Vinnie Barbarino. But the facts of the case just had me in tears. That poor, poor child. Now, whenever I hear the name Vinnie Barbarino, in any context, I'll remember him.

Ethylene! || Kyle Secor's character on Homicide was bisexual?
