The accused was charged with aggravated assault against his six-month-old daughter, who presented at the hospital with severe, life-threatening injuries including a liver laceration and a bowel obstruction.
The accused claimed the injuries were accidental, resulting from him dropping and catching the infant.
The Crown alleged the injuries were caused by intentional blunt force trauma, specifically squeezing.
The court rejected the accused's accidental explanation, relying on medical evidence that the injuries were inconsistent with a drop/catch, and accepted the mother's evidence that the accused confessed to squeezing the infant in anger.
The accused was found guilty.
