A West Virginia Man Is Sentenced to Prison in the Death of His 3-Month-Old Son
A West Virginia man has been sentenced to serve between 20 and 40 years in prison in the death of his 3-month-old son.
Daniel Messner was sentenced Monday in Marshall County, news outlets reported. He was charged in 2019 with death of a child by a parent by child abuse.
A doctor told Marshall County Prosecutor’s Office investigator Bryan Gaus that the child suffered from shaken baby syndrome and his death was the “result of extreme violence,” according to police records.
