New Jersey Man on Trial For Throwing His 3 Month Old Baby Off Bridge
On Wednesday the murder trial of Shamsid-Din Abdur-Raheem started. Abdur-Raheem is on trial for the murder of his 3-month-old daughter, Zara Malani-lin Abdur-Raheem, who he repeatedly admitted to throwing off a bridge on a New Jersey highway in February 2010.
Venetta Benjamin, the mother of the baby who had custody of the baby, left her with her mother, the baby’s grandmother. Even though Benjamin had sought a restraining order against Abdur-Raheem, he still came and took the baby.
According to prosecutors, in February 2010, Abdur-Raheem took the baby from her grandmothers apartment in East Orange, NJ. While he was snatching the baby, Abdur-Raheem reportedly assaulted the baby’s grandmother and even hit her with a van. He is reported to have driven to the Driscoll Bridge on the Garden State Parkway and tossed the baby into the Raritan River.
Several weeks after Abdur-Raheem abducted the baby she was found dead, by passerby, along the riverbank.
After killing his baby, Abdur-Raheem is charged with murder, kidnapping, aggravated assault and child endangerment and more.
Mishin Raheem, Abdur-Raheem’s father spoke about the case saying that his son and Benjamin, the mother of the baby, started dating during their freshman year at The Richard Stockton College of New Jersey. According to Raheem, the couple’s relationship was troubled right from the beginning.
The couple were never married.
The trial, which started on Wednesday, is expected to last approximately three weeks.

They should give him the injection then throw him in the f*****g river. And any body else who think this b*****d deserves to live f**k you
If this isn’t a death penalty case, I don’t know what is! This monster does not deserve to live!
He doesn’t deserve to die so peacefully either!! So, in lies the dilemma,smfh…
The law needs to be changed. If you murder, you are to die the same way that you murdered your victim. If beyond a resonable doubt you did it, then it must happen immediately! Poor baby!! Why must people take their troubles out on innocent children. Just Kill yo’self!

This is madness!
When a person is caught killing, shooting or murdering somebody; then I feel the same type of pain should be done to them…ON THE SPOT!!!
Paying for these murderers to stay on death row for 10-20 years before they are BURNED in the chair is too long for them to be living, especially if they did the crime.
I know there are a lot of innocent Black men on death row, but I am only talking about the murderers, who were caught committing the crime, and if evidence proves; they committed the crimes; then they should die IMMEDIATELY!!!
I’M SAFE TO SAY…A LOT OF RACIST PIGS SHOULD BE ON DEATH ROW FOR KILLING INNOCENT BLACK MEN, WOMEN AND CHILDREN!!!
Terrible! I just know this man is mentally ill. No doubt. The article states the mother Benjamin sought a restraining order, meaning she didn’t get one. May God be with the families, and ladies please do not fall so easily for these men.
That’s the problem,females are having children by men they don’t know. Then they expect the male to “Help” them with the child.
Too many of these men want free s*x, NOT children. And if you’re willing to throw in a place to stay, and transportation too, they’ll leave mama’s house to be with you……til they find another sucker.
This is another bizarre story which confirms my assessment that the whole of the human species is insane to varying degrees and subjects!
Most of us are in denial about it, as many are in denial on so many subjects!
This story begs one to explore the mind of this man, to at least try to understand where his insanity became a death sentence for a baby. While some quickly and ignorantly condemned this (obviously) demented person, we must remember that we pay taxes to a government which is owned and controlled by “elite” sociopaths who steal our tax wealth and force our grown military ‘children’ to bomb and murder children and families all over the world! How close does that compare ours to his type of dementia?
He was wrong. Plain and simple. But let’s take it a step further. did she know that her boyfriend was mentally disturbed? If so, why would she become pregnant by him?? Usually, once a woman decides to have a baby, she and the baby are stuck with that man, be he mentally stable or mentally ill. The victim, of course, is always the baby (or babies) who are rarely planned.
@Faye. You are summing up the actions of people who have not been affected by a multitude of psychological problems when you make assumptions on whether a male or female can sniff out the mental problems each suffer. In most cases people don’t find out their partners are mentally impaired and/or incompatible until it’s too late, and for some, the realization of the problem is followed by a fatality.
Some couples stay together for decades before the female becomes a black-widow or the male becomes something just as horrible!
Humans are insane to varying degrees. Some sicknesses in degrees so minute as to be virtually unrecognizable, and some so broad as to be institutionalized! And then there are all of us in-between! Some of us need a catalyst to send us careening out of control! Like the woman who used a baseball bat on a coach her son said touched him. Now some would think it okay to use a baseball bat in this situation, but I would suggest that her latent mental problems came to the surface and she took the law into her own hands and committed a (very) violent act which she would not like someone doing to her. The human mind (brain) is the most significant part of the body, but very fragile and still quite unknown by science.
All people who commit such a crime is not mentally ill. Some are just low down and mean. He should be given the needle and let go. The reason this country continue to have these types of crimes is because you can live on death row for years. If we start given the sentence of death then this madness will stop.
@tunie. You would do well to study bio-psychology and other forms of psychology. After your exhaustive research in an abundance of case studies, and know what conflicts are caused by the brain, you should understand what ‘makes’ the human-being do the insane things humans do. You might even conclude that things that some of us consider perfectly sane are considered totally insane by people in other parts of the world, and vice versa. Living or dying has nothing to do with the problems people suffer from brain (mental) diseases.
He needs to be thrown off a bridge by a noose.
We will always have some f****n stupid a*s people like the Wizardg, and Derrick, that blames white society, for everything in their miserable stinking lives, and want us to follow their irrational, and non productive beliefs, but to do so, would make us asinine as well. This piece of dog excrement, that murdered this baby, should first be put into the general population, and inform every inmate what he did to this baby. After the inmates are finished beating the f**k out of him, and raping him repeatedly, they should then throw this mother f****r off the highest bridge where there is no water, because this b*****d might be able to swim, and survive.
Never knew so many psychologist read this. I agree we are all mostly one egg short of a dozen but to murder a baby is without redemption, Surely the father is not fit to be in society. But the Bible says “vengeance is mine sayeth the Lord” . The precious little one is now safely in heaven never to endure the inhumane ravishes of man or the inequities of trying to live in this mad society. SUCH VULGARITY when will we learn to express ourselves without cussing????
I really didn’t want to read this story. It is too much to read, got through it with God holding me up. To the mother, the grandmothers, Allah will keep his arms around them for comfort. Also, the people who found the baby two probably suffered themselves over this awful act!
The father must be jailed, executed and burn in h**l. The precious baby will be well taken in Heaven!
Why he take him to trial just go on a kill him the way he did that poor helpless baby
Why is he still alive? Please put this fool in the General population, please
this is such painful story!!!!
This b*****d needs the GUILLOTINE!!!! Put his as in the prison population so he can get his a*s beat, head dunked in the toilet and raped everyday for the rest of his life!!!!
sweet little thing. im so sorry. People,Mental illness is on the increase.
I have lived long enough to say also there is rational method to this, it is an avenue of organized attack.
Good moral health is the same as good mental health Do not sleep w/ men that use you,don’t know you, don’t respect God—-it can kill you.s*x is not a sport,it is a spiritual portal and if it is not respected as sacred—then it belongs to the jealous Adversary,including offering up abortion as sacrifice,and homosexuality.Ever stop and think how often these men compete w/ and live to mock and frustrate females? Historically they did not exist among Africans until rape culture was introduced. Females always lose status in the culture when this takes hold. Females almost become worthless, especially the babies.
stop lying to yourself
Laltatelatahtah, you sound as sick as this b*****d that killed this child, and you certainly need mental help. God is a fragmentation of your imagination, and a story tale that was invented by Jews, just like Santa Clause. A person does not have to believe, and worship some imaginary god, to have good morals. There are billions of people that have died, and there are billions of people who are alive today, that are living moral lives without believing in a god. Please explain to me how the billions of people, that lived millions of years before the establishment of organize religion, were able to survive just fine? Or please explain to me how over a billion Chinese today, are able to survive without the belief in your god? This world, did not start with your god, and it will not end because of him. There are just some people that were born evil, just like there are some people that were born naive, and stupid.
