Dad goes on trial for killing 4-month-old son (Troy, New York)

Dad ADRIAN THOMAS is finally going to trial for the murder of his 4-month-old son. Daddy is accused of slamming the baby into the bed a couple of times. I know we've posted on this case before, as I vaguely remember the 500 pound dad part.

Opening statements have wrapped up in the trial of a Troy father charged with second-degree murder in the death of his infant son.

Prosecutors say 26-year-old Adrian Thomas slammed his four-month-old son Matthew on a bed three separate times last September out of frustration. Thomas was about 500 pounds at the time.

Prosecutors say the injuries the child sustained eventually led to his death.

The defense argues the baby died from another medical condition: septic shock.

The jury will be shown videotaped interviews with Thomas at the Intensive Care Unit the day the child died.

Among the first witnesses on the stand was a Troy paramedic, according to reporter Marci Natale.
