Prosecutors say 10-month-old Jacob Crouch endured a 'culture of cruelty' from his parents.
A 10-month-old baby was regularly attacked by his mother and stepfather before they murdered him, a trial has heard.
The court heard Jacob later contracted peritonitis - an infection of the lining of the abdominal organs - and died "in his cot, alone" on 30 December 2020. "Neither sought medical help for Jacob at any stage for the pain and suffering caused when his bones were broken or in the few days that followed."
Mrs Prior told jurors Jacob had visible bruises on his face and chest when he died and there was evidence of "severe and significant blunt force trauma" to his abdomen. Jurors were told Mr Crouch texted Ms Barton, in June 2020, asking whether she had "put back what Jacob threw back down him" - referring to vomit - with Barton confirming she had.The court heard Mr Crouch sent Ms Barton texts urging her to "smack his hand" if he cried, adding: "You need to be harder on him with this and not let this take over us. This will only get worse if not addressed now.

Judge dismisses trespass complaints against white nationalists for banners on NH overpassA New Hampshire judge has dismissed trespassing complaints against white nationalist extremists. Prosecutors accused the group of displaying banners on a highway overpass without a permit last summer. The banners read “Keep New England White.” Prosecutors had said the men were motivated by race. Two members of the group asked the court to dismiss the trespass complaints. The judge agreed Monday, saying prosecutors’ interpretation of the state’s Civil Rights Act was unconstitutionally overbroad. Prosecutors said Tuesday they will file a motion for reconsideration. The Anti-Defamation League describes the group, known as NSC-131 or the Nationalist Social Club, as a New England-based neo-Nazi group founded in 2019.
