Every time I firmly believe I am against the death penalty, something like this crime comes along . . .
NEW YORK
(AP) ―
Prosecutors say a Queens man yelled "toughen up" while fatally
punching his crying 7-month-old son in the chest.
Larry Greene was arraigned Wednesday on a second-degree murder charge.
He could face 25 years to life in prison if convicted.
Prosecutors also say Greene believed the baby preferred his mother.
Laquana Greene says her brother is "a good person" who could not commit
such a crime.
The baby, named Xiah, died Tuesday night. The medical examiner said he
also had bruises on his head and neck.
District Attorney Richard A. Brown says it's the ninth time in five
months that a family member or babysitter has been accused of killing or
severely injuring a child in Queens.
Brown says there is "no excuse" for such "senseless attacks."
