After an unresponsive nine-month-old baby was airlifted to Riley Hospital last August, a doctor told a state police detective the baby’s skull resembled “a cracked egg shell.” The father was arrested for four serious felony counts and has been in Greene County Jail while awaiting his trial date. That date’s been vacated since the defendant agreed to plead guilty and now he’s waiting to be sentenced – he could be facing up to 20 years in prison.
