If he didn't injure her and kill her, someone did....Who is it then ??? Babies don't inflict large,unusual bruises and blunt force trauma upon themselves. What a sweet, adorable little child.

Oh well lets dismiss charges the mother doesn't think her husband could kill her daughter.
this is a sad case. A tear in the small intestines had to be extremely painful. This poor child suffered at least a hour after the injury according to the ME in news report. Jaycee may never get justice!

I know, poor Jaycee! The state board should saction the medical examiner for not keeping tissue samples and other evidence that was crucial in this case.

Rest in peace sweet baby!
