Last Updated: August 7, 2008 03:16 PM
A Shreveport man, upset at his girlfriend because she had been out all night, squeezed their 3-month-old baby to death in a fit of anger, the Caddo Parish grand jury concluded today as it returned a second-degree murder indictment against him.
Grady Thornton, who turns 19 on Saturday, faces life in prison if convicted of killing his son, T.J.
Shreveport police, who arrested Thornton in June, said he was fussing at his girlfriend and the baby started crying. Thornton vented his anger by squeezing T.J., police said.
The baby died of blunt force trauma to the head and torso, Assistant District Attorney Ed Blewer said. There was no indication he fell, Blewer said.
Thornton is jailed under $500,000 bond.
