police/prosecutors presser:
murder in 2nd degree charge.
multiple blunt force trauma. no weapon used, probably fists.
Won't answer whether child was clothed or unclothed.
she admits to it because baby was "crying and not cooperating."
will go to Grand Jury.
nobody else involved.
she had been "out" evening before.
timeline still not solid.
$500,000. cash only bond.
investigation is ongoing. could take months.
she is on a routine suicide watch.
i wanted to hear why she took him out to woods. and a reporter asked about duct tape but got no answer. probably a rumor.
St. Louis County Prosecutor Bob McCulloch said the 13-month-old boy died as a result of blunt force trauma.
The evidence suggests there was not premeditation, which is why Dasher was charged with second-degree murder, McCulloch said. The difference between first-degree and second-degree murder charges is the difference between being "cold-blooded" or "hot-blooded," according to McCulloch.
