A Grand Rapids man with two child abuse convictions dating back to 2009 is now accused of beating his infant daughter, breaking 21 bones in the girl’s body over the span of several weeks.

Edgar Hall III is charged with first-degree child abuse, a potential life offense. Investigators say he began harming the girl shortly after her birth in June.

“The fact that this child was three months old and completely vulnerable, that’s what really makes this case egregious, not to mention the number of injuries,’’ Williams said.

Grand Rapids police got involved after the girl’s mother took her to Spectrum Health Blodgett Hospital on Sept. 8 due to unexplained injuries to the infant’s nose and face.

During an examination, doctors found evidence of numerous fractures in various stages of healing. They included fractures to her fingers, both arms, her right leg, “maybe’’ her left leg, her collarbone, and both shoulder blades, court records show.

A specialist determined there were a total of 21 fractures and four suspected/possible fractures, court records show.

Investigators say the child’s mother was not involved in the abuse, which occurred when she was at work or running errands.

Kent County Children’s Protective Services has recommended that Hall’s parental rights be terminated. A hearing has been scheduled for early December.

Hall was first charged with child abuse in 2009 after his six-year-old son was treated for a head injury.

The child told police his father hit him with a belt for wetting his pants. The boy was treated for a cut near his right eye which caused a “significant amount of bleeding.’’

Hall pleaded guilty to third-degree child abuse. He was placed on probation for 18 months.

Less than three years later, Kentwood police investigated another report of child abuse involving the same boy. He was hit in the mouth with a men’s hair brush for being loud.

Hall was sentenced to one year of probation in that 2012 case.

Most of these men are cowardly pieces of shit and would never think to raise their hand to another man.

They only get big balls when they are beating on women and children.
I grew up getting the shit knocked out of me by step dad's like this guy and you're correct. Luckily kids can pull though this sort of shit and if their head is on right can learn how not to treat kids and women and end the cycle of abuse.
 
Twenty months in prison was on the high end of the sentencing guidelines for the man convicted of breaking dozens of his daughter's bones.

Edgar Hall III, 40, was charged with first-degree child abuse after investigators say his 3-month-old daughter was brought to the hospital last year with more than 24 broken bones.

In October, a jury found Hall guilty of second-degree child abuse, a lesser charge.

"I think they could have easily found you guilty of the more serious charges," said Kent County Circuit Judge Curt Benson.

During Hall's sentencing hearing Thursday, the victim's mother told the judge that her daughter is healthy now, but that this could have been a very different story.

"They were crushed bones, judge, crushed bones," she said.

Judge Benson said he did receive multiple letters in support of Hall.

"All of those letters proceed from the assumption that you are innocent, but you are not innocent," he said. "The jury found you guilty."

He will serve between 20 months and 10 years in prison with credit for the 13 months he has already served.
 
How can 20 months be on the high end for crushing a person’s bones?
I saw that too, and was wondering WTF.

Michigan's penal code and court procedure laws read like a full-employment act for attorneys. IANAL, but I did glean that where another state might sentence a prisoner to a term of imprisonment of 2 to 10 years, Michigan will calculate using several factors to decide what "N" is when the sentence is a term of imprisonment of N to 10 years. Or for that matter any other maximum value. In this calculation, 20 months is the minimum term he will serve assuming he keeps his nose clean and manages to impress the parole board. I didn't have the patience to scan the laws to decipher the codes they used to write the sentencing guidelines.
