Prosecutors to seek death penalty against dad accused of killing 6-month-old son (Pulaski County, Virginia)

Dad is identified as HOWARD COLE. Mom may be charged with "enabling" the father to do the crime by leaving the baby with him. So much for being nice and trying to "co-parent"--like all the courts tell mothers to do these days.

Prosecutors to seek death penalty against dad accused of killing son in Pulaski County

PULASKI CO., Va. - Prosecutors will seek the death penalty in the case of a 5-month-old's death in Pulaski County.

That's what came out during a hearing for Howard Cole on Wednesday.

He faces capital murder charges over the death of his son, Cory Cole. Cole led police to the baby's body in a shallow grave in January.

A grand jury will decide if there's enough evidence to send the baby's mother to trial on child neglect charges.

Samantha Anna-Jane Taylor, who also goes by Samantha Warden, was also in court Wednesday.

A judge sent her case on to the grand jury after hearing evidence that she left her baby alone with Cole.

That would be a violation of a court order that she was to always have the child within her sight when around the baby's father.
