Dad pleads guilty to murder for slamming 3-month-old son into concrete (Columbus, Ohio)

Headline writers, please. It's not a "man." It's a dad. An abusive dad, QUINDELL SHERMAN, who obviously had a history of domestic violence against his son's mother, and who then went on to brutally murder his infant son in a fit of pique. Slamming a 3-month-old baby into a concrete landing on the street--after dragging him like a rag doll. Sickening.

COLUMBUS, Ohio — A young father admitted on Thursday that he killed his infant son by slamming him onto an east side street.

Quindell Sherman showed no emotion in court as he pleaded guilty to murder, 10TV's Maureen Kocot reported.

He described in detailed what happened in November on East 16th Avenue.

Investigators said Sherman was arguing with the child's mother when he left the house and slammed his son, Jayden Sherman, into a concrete landing.

Police said that Sherman then repeatedly struck the baby's mother, and grandmother.

Prosecutors said he then dragged the 3-month-old baby down the street "like a rag doll" before throwing him into the air. Jayden landed about 25 feet away and was pronounced dead at the scene, 10TV News reported.

A judge will decide Sherman's punishment in May, Kocot reported.

Prosecutors have asked for life in prison with no possibility of parole.

Jayden's mother, Sonia Mitchell, said she hopes a judge sentences Sherman to life in prison.

"You took so much away from me," Mitchell said. "It's not fair. You should have to rot for the rest of your life."
