Minnesota Man Faces 7 Years In Prison For Punching His Newborn As If “He Was A Grown Man”!!
Excerpt From Article:
Taylor was charged last November after the boy’s grandmother discovered extensive bruising on the child’s face when he and his mother showed up at her home.
Johnny Taylor repeatedly punched his newborn son’s face like “he was a grown man,” almost killing him, according to a Ramsey County District Court judge.
For that, the 23-year-old Little Canada man was sentenced Wednesday to about seven years in prison.
The term was handed down by Judge Sara Grewing about two months after Taylor pleaded guilty to one count of first-degree assault. His son was 4 weeks old at the time of the attack in the Little Canada apartment where Taylor lived with his girlfriend, the infant’s mother.
Before the sentencing, Grewing told Taylor she was sorry for the troubled childhood he’d had to endure and that society didn’t do a better job intervening to help him. Taylor’s mother died and his father’s parental rights were terminated when he was still a child.
Grewing also addressed the baby boy’s mother and grandmother, both of whom spoke at Taylor’s sentencing hearing.
“I think the fact that he is still on this earth means he is made for great things,” she said of their son and grandson.
Taylor was charged last November after the boy’s grandmother discovered extensive bruising on the child’s face when he and his mother showed up at her home.
The baby’s mother told investigators that Taylor got upset with their son over his crying. He punched the child in the face repeatedly and shook and squeezed him while she begged him to stop.
The woman fled with her child to her mother’s home after Taylor fell asleep.
