@Satanica

Maybe you know more about this one since it happened in Texas.

The story is behind a paywall.

Seems like they’re taking their time getting him to trial. They waited a year to charge him but cannot find anything else about the case. Baby was actually from temple. Wondering if he’ll just plead.

So... I have an update, he got 40 years for the crime.

I shouldn't have laughed at that because there's a dead baby, but I did.

He will not be “caring” for anymore children! Breaking their bones and lacerating their liver to death! The wee baby was 6 weeks old! The baby cried because you assaulted him! He was in pain and you beat him! Worthless git!
