Sentenced: Fort Fairfield Man Accused Of Killing Infant Son Back In Court

[Sugar Cookie]

An Aroostook County man charged in the 2022 death of his infant son pleaded not guilty via a Zoom hearing in Aroostook County Superior Court.

Stanley Hazell, 24, was indicted on one count of manslaughter following a year-long investigation by Maine State Police. If convicted, Hazell could face up to 30 years in jail and a $50,000 fine.

Justice Stephen Nelson said in court that Hazell was charged on allegations that he recklessly and with criminal mischief caused the death of 7-month-old Jackson Hazell on April 8, 2022 in Aroostook County.

The Maine State Medical Examiner ruled that Jackson Hazell’s death was a homicide.

Bail for the Fort Fairfield man was set at a previous hearing at $15,000 cash or $50,000 surety, following Assistant Attorney General Leane Zainea’s recommendation. Hazell currently remains free on bail.

As part of the conditions of his release, Nelson ordered that Hazell not have contact with Julia or Frances Maguire, the baby’s mother and grandmother.

A Fort Fairfield man charged with manslaughter in the death of his infant son is back behind bars after a court appearance this afternoon.

Stanley Hazell was arrested last November, more than a year after the April 2022 death of seven-month-old Jackson Hazell. The Medical Examiner’s Office ruled Jackson’s death was a homicide.

Hazell appeared in an Aroostook County courtroom today after the state filed a motion to revoke bail.

“I think actually the motion, for today’s purposes at this juncture, has become moot,” explained Ian L’Heureux, defense attorney. “We’ve just spoken with the state a few minutes ago. It seems that the surety bond on Mr. Hazell’s bail has been terminated by the owner of the real estate. He will not be able to remain out on bail as a result of that.”

The defense team and prosecutors will now figure out if Hazell can post an alternate bail.
