That was not in the report posted here. I got that through the Capt's grapevine. It was also mentioned in a news report, but I forget which one.

May God have mercy on this man's soul - no one else is going to.

I'm with Julia....stone him.

"Hand me a sack of stones."

Were this not such a serious subject...

Nice try, counselor. Rehabilitating your client's rep, impugning the medical evidence, AND fishing for "alternative suspect" theories in the SAME post! amazing!

Do you know chattyturny? Will you be representing 'JD' pro bono?

Oh, and that "boys will be boys, they're gonna hurt themselves" stuff. Indescribable.

Good thing you left those tracks to go back on.

...And -I- am saying that if JD or Ashleigh knew who left ONE HUNDRED PLUS BRUISES AND CUTS on that baby and did nothing about it until that baby DIED, or that they DIDN'T know who left ONE HUNDRED PLUS BRUISES AND CUTS on that baby and did nothing about it until that baby DIED, THEY should be held accountable without the identity of the 'Lone Gunman' you allude towards.

Are you on the same 'weeds' as they were, or do you just hate toddlers? WTF?

Hamilton County: Bond set at $500,000 for accused child killer

A Hixson man accused of killing his stepson in August has had his case bound over to a Hamilton County grand jury for indictment.

Justin Loines, 24, is accused of killing his stepson, Christopher Landen Patton, 2, on Aug. 6.

Mr. Loines has been charged with felony murder and aggravated child abuse in connection with the death, according to court records.

General Sessions Court Judge Christine Mahn Sell on Tuesday set Mr. Loines’ bond at $250,000 on each count. He is being housed at the Hamilton County Jail.

Chattanooga police have said Mr. Loines brought Christopher to the emergency room at Memorial North Park Hospital on Aug. 6. The child was pronounced dead a short time later, and Mr. Loines said at the time the boy fell from a child-size picnic table.

A preliminary medical examiner’s report detailed “multiple blunt-force injuries” and other trauma to the boy’s body. The report, written by Dr. James Metcalfe, said those injuries were the probable cause of death, but Christopher also suffered a fractured skull and a ruptured spleen, according to court filings.

That is completely sickening. Any "adult" who needs to treat a child like that, should be bullied by someone 10 times bigger than themselves. God and Karma will make justice, but that doesn't make me feel better this time.
