OSHKOSH, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — An Oshkosh man has been convicted of causing his infant son’s death.
29-year-old Cory Lyons pleaded no contest to first-degree reckless homicide stemming from the November 29th in which Lyons shook his infant son.
The child died of brain injuries.
The criminal complaint reads, “The Defendant then admitted that he picked up (the baby) while frustrated and he jerked him, yelling “Stop.” The defendant gave a quick jerk demonstrating how he jerked (the baby) when he told him to stop. He had explained that he was frustrated. He stated that the child’s head snapped back and came forward. The defendant acknowledged that he had not been supporting the child’s head in anyway at this time.”
Later, he returned to the child.
“The defendant admitted that he was highly frustrated by the child’s crying and discomfort and that he shook (the child) between 5 and 6 times, pulling him up, jerking his head, letting his head snap back,” the complaint states.
