[mysteriew]

A murder trial that began Tuesday is about a child's death and how methamphetamine destroys lives, Putnam County Prosecutor Tim Bookwalter told a jury.

Jeremy Joe Farris, 25, Roachdale, is charged with murder, battery and four drug counts in connection with the Nov. 4 death of 4-year-old Tyler Fogarty.

Tyler's mother, Crystal Fogarty, 23, is awaiting trial on drug and neglect charges.

Describing Tyler as a dark-haired little boy who loved trains, Bookwalter said during opening remarks that the child fell victim to an abusive man and a drug that had taken over the lives of his mother and Farris.
