Dad charged with attempted murder of 7-week-old son held without bail (Salem, Massachusetts)

Thank goodness the judge is showing some common sense and not letting dad DARIO FINKEL out on bail. Finkel is exactly the kind of criminal who needs to stay in jail, because he is precisely the type who is very likely to inflict further violent retaliation on his victims. Many homicide victims in Massachusetts and elsewhere have been killed after their abusers are let out on bail, so this is no idle speculation.

SALEM, Mass. — A Salem father accused of stuffing a baby wipe in his infant son's mouth because the child would not stop crying has been ordered held without bail.

Dario Finkel was ordered held Wednesday on charges of attempted murder, child endangerment, and assault and battery causing injury to a child.

Prosecutors say the 26-year-old Finkel also threw the 7-week-old baby to the floor and then at his wife last week.

The Salem News reports that according to court records, he threw his wife out of their apartment when he found out she was pregnant and said he would not let her back until she had an abortion or miscarried.

Finkel's lawyers asked that he be released because he has no access to the child and strong ties to the area.
