Rampant Abuse and Murders of Children

[Jezreel]

I don't know if anyone has followed this story, but today closing arguments were to start this morning in the case of the murder of 4 yr old Dominick Calhoun!!
Port Huron is 45 mins away, I wish I could go to the courthouse today.

I hope this sweet boy gets his justice today, he did not deserve to go through what he did!!

Here is some background:

ARGENTINE TOWNSHIP, Michigan — He was the little boy everybody wanted, with his big blue eyes and even bigger personality.

For more than a year, Dominick Calhoun moved from home to home as his mother, father and maternal grandparents each argued they could best care for the blond, rough and tumble boy.

Dominick Calhoun, 4, died Monday after police found him severely beaten Sunday in his Argentine Township home.

Sunday, Dominick was found unconscious in his Argentine Township apartment with bruises covering his body and all of his teeth knocked out. The once vivacious 4-year-old died at 11:02 Monday morning, after he was removed from life support.

His mother and her boyfriend both were arrested Sunday. The mother, who was also injured, was later released.

Genesee County Prosecutor David Leyton said the boyfriend remains in jail on suspicion of felony murder and he expects to announce charges today. Leyton declined to comment about the ongoing investigation.

“He was such a precious, precious boy,” said his paternal grandmother Lisa DeLong, 50, of Fenton. “Not just because he was my grandson, he was just so smart.”

Dominick was a Daddy’s boy who loved hanging out with the guys and driving his little red Viper, his “pride and joy.”

Here is today's update and the SOB who beat Dominick senselessly

Livingston Daily - The jury is expected to begin deliberating the fate of a former Livingston County man accused of brutally beating a 4-year-old boy to death.

Closing arguments in the murder trial of Brandon Joshua-Frederick Hayes are set to begin at 9 a.m. today in a Port Huron courtroom. The jury begins deliberations after a judge's instructions following those arguments.

The family of 4-year-old Dominick Calhoun is confident the jury will give them "sweet justice" by convicting Hayes of murder, torture, child abuse and other charges in connection with Dominick's murder.

Testimony throughout the six-day trial indicated the beating occurred the weekend of April 8, 2010, after Dominick wet himself while eating breakfast on the couch in the family's Argentine Township apartment.

Hayes also is accused of assaulting Calhoun's then-7-year-old brother and the boy's mother, Corrine Baker, who testified that Hayes beat and kicked her as she wrapped herself around Dominick's body to try to shield him from the blows.

Witnesses also testified that Baker did not seek help for her son when given the chance.

The defense painted Baker as a woman who failed to get help when she could because she was responsible for beating her son and did not want to get into trouble.

Baker pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in August for not doing enough to help her son. She faces 13-30 years in prison when she is sentenced.
