Jacksonville mom told investigators she became angry because the baby was crying while she was playing a computer game called FarmVille on the Facebook social-networking website

February 2, 2011

One day before she murdered her infant son with her bare hands in her Jacksonville home, Alexandra Tobias took a personality test on the Internet that cast a grim outlook in a sophomoric tone.

The quiz results, posted to her Facebook page, labeled her as bipolar with a passage that read: "Way to go, you crazy person. You are too much for any one person to handle, including yourself."

The next morning, 3-month-old Dylan Lee Edmondson was dying of head injuries as investigators, doctors, Duval County jail inmates and even family began spotting a pattern of lies to cover up an ugly truth.

Tobias, 22, a Wolfson High School graduate who wanted to go to college and had a generally good reputation as a parent, had shaken the baby to death while playing interactive games on her Facebook page.

Circuit Judge Adrian G. Soud sentenced Tobias to 50 years in prison after hearing several hours of testimony Tuesday. Tobias cried at points, but was led to a fingerprinting station with a blank look on her face after Soud gave a scathing lecture from the bench.

"He who is the most defenseless among us was murdered by his own mommy. And why? Because he was crying during a game of FishVille or FarmVille or whatever was going on during Facebooking time that day," the judge said.

The sentence was the highest end of a plea bargain negotiated in October as Tobias pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in Dylan's death.
