Does that mean the baby can't have just fallen off something?

IMO, yes. It means the baby was maliciously harmed and not merely by neglect.
She's been charged with felony murder, cruelty to children in the first degree, and aggravated battery.

In regards to the cruelty to children charge, per GA Code § 16-5-70 (2022):
  1. A parent, guardian, or other person supervising the welfare of or having immediate charge or custody of a child under the age of 18 commits the offense of cruelty to children in the first degree when such person willfully deprives the child of necessary sustenance to the extent that the child’s health or well-being is jeopardized.
  2. Any person commits the offense of cruelty to children in the first degree when such person maliciously causes a child under the age of 18 cruel or excessive physical or mental pain.
  3. Any person commits the offense of cruelty to children in the second degree when such person with criminal negligence causes a child under the age of 18 cruel or excessive physical or mental pain.

In regards to the charge of aggravated battery, per GA Code § 16-5-24 (2022):
  1. A person commits the offense of aggravated battery when he or she maliciously causes bodily harm to another by depriving him or her of a member of his or her body, by rendering a member of his or her body useless, or by seriously disfiguring his or her body or a member thereof.

In addition, a Georgia criminal attorney has this to say about the difference between aggravated assault and aggravated battery in the state of Georgia:

When comparing aggravated assault vs battery, it is important to understand the level of harm done. Aggravated battery in Georgia occurs when someone is maimed, loses the use of a limb, or becomes disfigured because of their injury. Aggravated battery can also mean a weapon has caused significant bodily harm.


Based on the charges, I believe she intended to cause this baby harm.

late to the thread but I was thinking maybe dad gave a fake name for the baby to buy some time?

Based on everything the dad has said, Jaxton was the name he chose. The coroner stated the dad was not on the birth certificate. I think in comes down to a conflict between mom and dad in regards to name.
