A Texas man will likely spend significant time behind bars for killing his infant son by flinging him into a couch while he was stressed out.

Alfred Williams, 21, was found guilty this week by a jury of his peers in Tarrant County on one count of felony murder for the child abuse-related death of 4-month-old Azari Williams.

On the day in question, the little boy ended up at nearby Cook Children's Hospital, where he succumbed to a series of blunt force injuries suffered at home, the medical examiner's office said, according to Dallas-based Fox affiliate KDFW. At the time of the fatal abuse, the family had no history with Child Protective Services.

Earlier that day, Williams was the only adult in the apartment unit with Azari and the victim's 11-year-old half brother, according to a courtroom report by the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.

As the infant began to cry, and as the cries got louder and louder, the defendant yelled for him to shut up, according to law enforcement. Then, the first-time father picked up his son and squeezed. That squeeze fractured two of the tiny boy's ribs.

After that, Williams threw Azari into the arm of the couch. Then, the baby bounced – likely hitting his head on the wall, doctors said. In the end, a pathologist determined the combined attack had caused significant brain bleeding and a spinal column fracture.

During the state's closing argument, Assistant District Attorney Steven Elliott said Williams had thrown Azari "like he was nothing."

"I didn't want to hurt my child," Williams would later tell a detective through tears.

The defendant would go on to reveal the stresses in his life. He was unemployed at the time, could not pay his cellphone bill, and spent most of his time alone in the apartment caring for the often-crying baby boy while Azari's mother worked 12-hour shifts at a hospital.

The 11-year-old would provide an account of the evening, telling investigators he was in his bedroom when he heard his brother crying, then heard Williams shouting, and finally heard the crying stop.

“I didn’t want to hurt my child “ Boo Hoo!! If that’s true you would not have squeezed him with enough force to break two ribs!! Neither would you throw him with enough force to fracture his skull!! Beating on a pregnant woman is something else you didn’t mean either!! Can’t keep employment! Worthless wastrel!! Women, make better choices, this one is robbing the very air you breathe and he murdered your baby! I hope the judge imprisons you till you are too old to reproduce!
