Funny how the murders of children aren't treated as "real" murders with life sentences. Observe that dad DARON DUANE DAVIS was convicted of killing another child back back in 1996, and was sentenced to twenty years.
Okay, I may not be the brightest bulb in the chandelier when it comes to higher mathematics, but as far as I can reckon, that means he should have been getting out in 2016. What happened?
The end result, at any rate is, that his 5-month-old daughter is now dead--and Daddy has been charged with her murder.
Will he be kept away from children this time? Just maybe?

Father Charged In Child's Death; Records Show It's The 2nd Time

GREER, SC --
A 5-month-old girl is dead and the father charged with murder after the baby was taken off life support and died Sunday night.
Greenville County deputies say the investigation into the child’s injuries began on January 19 when Greer Police were asked the Sheriff’s Office to investigate the case to avoid the appearance of a conflict of interest.
The child’s grandmother is an employee with the Greer PD.
Deputies responded to Greenville Memorial and spoke with the child’s mother. The report states she told investigators the child’s breathing became erratic due to injuries she received. Doctors placed the child on life support at the hospital.
Investigators say Daron Duane Davis cased the child’s injuries, but they declined to elaborate on how the injuries occurred. Davis was charged with abuse to inflict bodily injury upon a child.
The child is Davis’ biological daughter.
After the child was removed from life support Sunday, the charges were upgraded to murder.
For Davis, it is the second time he has been charged in the death of a child involving child abuse. In 1994, records show Davis was charged with homicide by child abuse in Spartanburg County.
Davis is currently being held at the Greenville County Detention Center without bond. He pleaded guilty on that charge and was sentenced to 20 years in prison in 1996.
