CINCINNATI (AP) - A judge has sentenced a teenager to life in
prison for killing an 1-year-old boy by repeatedly swinging him
against a wall because he was frustrated with the child's toilet
training.
Hamilton County Common Pleas Judge Beth Myers sentenced Derris
Smith, 18, on Tuesday, stipulating he is not eligible for parole
for at least 31 years. A jury convicted Smith on charges of murder,
felonious assault and child endangering.
Authorities said Smith, the mother's boyfriend, repeatedly
slammed Malakai Glenn against the wall when he became frustrated
last June while trying to toilet train him. The impact left drywall
stuck to Malakai's head and cracked a wooden door, said the boy's
mother, Sasha Glenn, 20.
