David William Barber​

An Oroville man has pleaded not guilty on charges he badly injured an 8-year-old boy.

Defense attorney Jesse Santana entered the pleas this morning on behalf of defendant David William Barber, 32.

Barber is charged
[....]
with felony counts of torture, corporal injury to a child and child endangerment likely to cause great bodily injury. He also faces the special allegation he committed the acts while he was released from custody on his own recognizance.

If convicted of torture, the defendant faces a sentence of seven years to life in state prison, Santana said
[....]
Oroville police arrested Barber on Saturday following a week-long investigation into the alleged abuse of the boy. Officers took the boy into protective custody after receiving the report.

According to police, the boy's injuries included two severe black eyes, both sides of his buttocks were completely bruised and other smaller bruises on his back and chest.

Barber was reportedly the live-in boyfriend of the child's mother. Police allege he repeatedly used a belt on the boy and punched him, including in the genitals.

Judge Tamara Mosbarger set a Feb. 26 preliminary hearing in the case.

Santana sought additional time because he needed to review discovery evidence and research Barber's background as a disabled veteran of the U.S. Air Force.

Deputy district attorney Jennifer Dupre-Tokos said the prosecution didn't want to delay the preliminary examination.

Santana also sought to postpone Barber's sentencing today on a felony elder theft charge. Dupre-Tokos argued that the victim had a constitutional right to make a statement to the court and to be present for key events, like sentencing.

Judge Mosbarger said the victim could give his statement, but postponed sentencing giving the seriousness of the new case.

Barber remains in custody, without bail for the elder abuse case. Mosbarger maintained bail in the child abuse case at $1.125 million.

So, he beats up children and the elderly? What a catch.

And excuse me but he was about to be sentenced on the elder abuse charges which means it has been litigated even if just by plea bargain, why the hell did the mother still have him around at all? Some guy who can beat on the elderly isn't getting anywhere near me or my boys again!
 
Billy bad ass has to beat on people who can't defend themselves. Despicable pos. Hope he spends a good amount of time in prison. And Mom is guilty too.
 
I believe it says the elder charge was theft...What is it about some men...who believe that beating and abusing children/elderly/women...makes them a man?

Because like @sum bitch said they have to beat on the defenseless so their victims won't fight back... they have to feel powerful and in control to be a MAN but they know damn well if they try and take on another guy or a reasonably strong woman, they're going to get their wussy little butts whooped.
 
I'd say are you kidding me but I've seen this before. It's absolutely crazy how shit happens. That little pea brained Neanderthal was having a bad day and instead of smoking a joint and jacking off, smothering himself with a pillow, going for a long walk off a short pier into a shark pool he decided to beat the kid. Not cool.
Equally not as cool is the fact mom had such a dingbat around her son. There will come a time when his dick is not in your pussy and he is gonna go looking for entertainment elsewhere. It's best to make sure it's not your kid.
 
Oroville man charged in severe child abuse case declared mentally incompetent
[...]
Oroville man charged with allegedly injuring an 8-year-old boy has been declared mentally incompetent to stand trial.
[...]
Superior Court Judge Tamara Mosbarger suspended the criminal proceedings Wednesday against defendant David William Barber, 33, according to deputy district Jennifer Dupre-Tokos.

Doubt about Barber's competency was raised during a July 8 hearing set for a preliminary examination. A judge appointed a doctor to evaluate the defendant.
[...]
there was an initial doctor's report discussed Aug. 13, but the matter was continued to Wednesday to include consideration of an older case where the defendant awaits sentencing for theft from an elder or dependant adult.

The judge set a Sept. 29 hearing to determine where Barber will be placed for treatment until he is restored to competency.
[...]
The defendant allegedly used a belt on the boy and punched him. The boy's injuries, which reportedly took place over a period of time, included two severe black eyes, completely bruised buttocks and smaller bruises on his back and chest.
[...]
older case, Barber was the caregiver for a 65-year-old Chico man with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS, who needed 24-hour care. While the victim was sleeping, Barber stole blank checks and gathered credit card information from the victim's computer.

The victim gathered evidence and reported Barber to police after learning his checking account was overdrawn and his credit cards maxed out.

The defendant remains in custody.

Hold it, he was competent enough to have a job as the caregiver for his previous victim, the 65 year old man with ALS, but now he isn't competent to stand trial?

I'm quite confused by that especially since he was about to be sentenced inthe elder abuse case when he beat the child.
 
Wow...what a malingerer this guy is. He was competent enough to care for a man with ALS...competent enough to use the mans computer to steal his banking information...competent enough to drain the mans bank accts and to repeatedly use his credit cards until he maxed them out...competent enough for this mother to feel her child was safe with this man...competent enough for the mother to choose to sleep with him...but he's not competent to stand charges for any of the things he's done. OKAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY WTF
 
His head and ears look like someone left the car doors open.

And how the hell did he get away with the incompetent defence after all his obviously competent -at-the-time shenanigans, the creepy little shit bag. I'm assuming they confirmed he has no brains. Bullying prick.
 
An Oroville man has been sentenced to prison for severely beating an 8-year-old boy and stealing from a 64-year-old man he was supposed to be caring for.

Butte County District Attorney Mike Ramsey says David William Barber, 34, will spend nine years in state prison for stealing from a man he was paid to care for, and for beating his girlfriend’s son so badly that the child was left with two black eyes.

Barber’s court proceedings were delayed in September of 2014, when a court-appointed psychologist found him incompetent to stand trial. Barber was committed to Napa State Hospital, but in March of this year he was returned to Butte County and found competent to stand trial. Barber pled guilty to child endangerment on July 24.

During Thursday’s sentencing hearing, the 8-year-old victim’s aunt, whom the boy lives with now, read a statement detailing the trauma the child suffered and the psychological issues the child continues to struggle with.

Awesome news. He must have got bored up in that mental hospital after all this time. Figured he may as well face the music. I don't believe he was incompetent. I believe he was a malingerer. I have to wonder if thats how he came into his military disability. I hope his mother gets a dandy sentence of some kind too. Happy to hear the little boy is with someone that loves him.
 
This is my home town.

That's the funny part about being mentally incompetent when you're not, it doesn't make your troubles go away.

I would much rather be in prison than a mental hospital. (I think, never been to either one)
