Nuttall became frustrated with his son’s cries and threw him into a portable crib, causing fatal injuries to the child’s spine, The Washington Post reported.
While reporting the latest status of the case, district attorney “These are the cases that have affected me the most,” said Jason Schmidt. “Isaac was just 16 months old and he hit a Pack ‘n Play so hard during the autopsy that his spine shattered.”
Captain Daniel Overend of the Jamestown Police Department stated that the Jamestown Police Department’s Investigation Section conducted a thorough and efficient investigation into this incident, which resulted in the arrest of Matthew E. Nuttall on a charge of first-degree manslaughter.
