Mississippi man found guilty of injuring 10-week-old daughter
SUMMARY: A 24-year-old man, Timothy Warren Wilson, was found guilty of child abuse in Rankin County, Mississippi. Wilson shook his 10-week-old daughter out of frustration, resulting in severe injuries. He confessed to the crime and faces a potential sentence of five years to life in prison. The prosecution argued that the injuries were consistent with Abusive Head Trauma, commonly known as Shaken Baby Syndrome, rather than a seizure as claimed by the defense. The case involved collaboration between multiple agencies to bring justice to the infant. Fortunately, the child made a full recovery, and authorities hope the healing process can continue for the victim and their family.
