Dad jailed for life over brutal murder of 4-month-old daughter (Glasgow, Scotland)
We've posted on dad CRAIG JAMIESON before. He's now been jailed for life for murdering his 4-month-old daughter. Believe me, in Scotland, a dad has to be pretty depraved to get a life sentence (okay, maybe just 16 years). But from what I've read, Jamieson more than qualifies.

A FATHER was jailed for life yesterday for murdering his baby girl in a "brutal" attack.
Craig Jamieson, 30, will serve a minimum of 16 years for killing four-month-old Abbie at the Glasgow home he shared with the child's mother, Nichola Haddock.
Abbie died at Yorkhill Hospital on 8 February, 2008, following severe injuries to her head and abdomen.
During the trial at the High Court in Glasgow, Jamieson tried to blame the child's 29-year-old mother for her death. Sentencing him yesterday, temporary judge Alastair Stewart QC said: "The jury found you guilty of the brutal murder of a defenceless child."The nature of the injuries suggest strongly that this was not some momentary loss of control."Yesterday, the jury took just under four hours to convict Jamieson of the charge of inflicting blunt force trauma to the baby's head and body "by means to the prosecutor unknown".
