Man Kills his 9months old Baby

A father who killed his nine-month-old son by violently shaking him and causing "catastrophic injuries", has been jailed for eight years.

Stephen Ward, 25, was found guilty of the 2014 manslaughter of his son Jordan by inflicting injuries at the family home in Cirencester, Gloucestershire.

Bristol Crown Court was told medical tests showed Jordan's injuries could not have been inflicted by accident.

Ward was said to have a history of losing his temper when Jordan cried.

The baby's mother, Paula Watts, told the court she once heard Ward slap Jordan when he was crying but he had told her he had just "tapped" their son.

Ms Watts said she confronted Ward about Jordan's injuries after the baby had been admitted to hospital.

She said: "I asked him to look me in the eyes and swear on my life that he hadn't done anything. He said he hadn't."

Det Ch Insp Steve Bean said Ward "denied any wrongdoing", claiming Jordan had "choked then lost consciousness whilst he was feeding him" and "even tried to suggest that his ex-partner Paula might have been responsible".

He said the tragedy of Jordan's death was "beyond description" and paid tribute to Ms Watts, adding Ward will "have to live with what he has done for the rest of his life".

Harrington says he plans to appeal the conviction in the Jackson County Circuit Court. That conviction revolved around nine misdemeanor charges that come from a 1925 law. That archaic ordinance bans what state water managers called “illegal reservoirs.” “The government is bullying,” Harrington said in an CNS News, last Thursday. “They’ve just gotten to be big bullies and if you just lay over and die and give up, that just makes them bigger bullies. So, we as Americans, we need to stand on our constitutional rights, on our rights as citizens and hang tough. This is a good country, we’ll prevail,” he added.
