Product Description

Product Description

On Sunday May 2, 1993 in Lantana, Florida, a town in the Palm Beach area, the naked body of ten-year-old Andrew "A. J." Schwarz was found floating facedown in the family's backyard swimming pool. But how could he have drowned when the water level was only four feet deep? And why was his body covered with cuts and bruises from head to toe? Suspicion soon fastened on the dead boy's stepmother, Jessica Schwarz, who boastfully described herself as "loud and crude." She was a brute and a bully - but was she a torturer and child killer? Investigators unearthed a pattern of nightmarish physical and mental abuse that she had inflicted on the boy, one that left even hardened police sleuths sickened. During her trials, Jessica Schwarz was smugly defiant, until convictions for criminal child abuse and second-degree murder wiped the smirk off her face. She is now serving a seventy-year prison term. Carol J. Rothgeb, author of "Hometown Killer", and Scott H. Cupp, the prosecutor who successfully convicted Jessica Schwarz, now tell the riveting inside story of how a brutal killer's reign of terror was finally brought to an end.


From the Author

I want to thank all the readers who slugged their way through this emotionally exhausting account of A.J.'s short life. I am still involved in prosecution and have tried many, many cases, but for many reasons I could not leave A.J. behind. I am not an author and at present have no plans for another book. Please read his story, tell a friend and perhaps if enough people read about what actually happens to children change will happen.

Thanks,
Scott H. Cupp

5.0 out of 5 stars No One Can Hurt Him Anymore, 14 Mar 2006
By A Customer
After reading "No One can Hurt Him Anymore" by Carol J. Rothgeb and Scott H. Cupp, I was moved to tears by this beautifully written and researched book. The story is about the short sad life of Andrew Schwarz nicknamed A.J. and his subsequent murder by his stepmother Jessica Schwarz. The constant humiliation, physical abuse, mental abuse inflicted on this young boy by his stepmother on a daily basis was heartwrenching to read. I have a ten year son whom I love very much and this made Andrew's story especially poignant.

Andrew Schwarz was a brave courageous boy, he was liked by everyone, he did not bear malice to anyone. Mrs. Idrissi. Andrew's 3rd grade teacher noted that he was one of the most afectionate kids in her class and that he was friendly, bright with a good sense of humour admiral qualities in every child and especially more so in Andrew's case for he had every reason not to be.

The only part that I disagree with is a reference to what would A.J. would have turned out like in the Afterword by Scott H.Cupp if he had survived the relentless physical and psychological pounding he received. I cannot see Andrew Schwarz growing up to being a voilent man or at a stretch to see him as a relentless killer, not all children who are abused turn into abusers.

Andrew Schwarz was a courageous and loving boy, if he had lived he would have made a fine man inspite of all the abuse inflicted on him by Jessica Schwarz unfortunately he did not live to prove it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Saddest Book I Have Ever Read, 9 April 2006
This book has to be one of the saddest that i have ever read. It is the story of the very short life of ten-year-old Andrew Schwarz also known as A.J. After moving in with his natural father David and his Step-Mother Jessica this child had a day to day battle with degradation, both mental and physical abuse at the hands of his evil step-mother. Till one day in May of 1993 A.J was found naked floating in the families backyard pool. The writer of this book Scott Cupp takes you on a journey from when the body was first found to the courtroom drama that followed and the ultimate fate of Jessica Schwarz.

5.0 out of 5 stars What A Book, 29 Oct 2005
By A Customer
I could not put this book down once I started reading it. It is one of the sadest books I have ever read, I can not believe that nobody helped this little boy escape this life he was in. The stepmother is the most evil person I have ever read about, she made this poor little boys life a living hell.

This book is so well written that you actually feel like you know AJ. This is the sadest book I have ever read
