A father who flung his 6-month-old child to the floor, killing him, has been sentenced to a maximum prison term of 48 years.
Justin Michael Taylor, 23, initially blamed the little boy’s 18-month-old sister for the severe head injury to the child.
He claimed the little girl ran into her brother and dropped a book on his head, according to the Adams County district attorney’s office.
However, Taylor later changed his story, first saying he had dropped the baby, Julian Adams-Lacas, but then admitting he threw the baby to the ground.
The incident occurred in February 2009.
Julian was born with a bilateral cleft palate.
Taylor had been found guilty of child abuse resulting in death by an Adams County jury June 23.
