A Colorado Springs father who pleaded guilty last year in the child-abuse death of his infant son was sentenced Tuesday to 31 years in prison...

Judge Larry E. Schwartz said Pierce never accounted for how the child was injured, and the judge suggested Pierce gave supporters the impression the case against him was the result of “being in the wrong place at the wrong time.”

“Everybody needs to understand: I just don’t buy it,” Schwartz said, before rattling off a list of injuries found at the child’s autopsy, including rib fractures and brain injuries allegedly inflicted over a period of time.
