A teenage father accused of beating his 3-month old child to death entered a formal "not guilty" plea Monday.
James Pierce, 19, was arrested in April after police found his infant son beaten to the point of unconsciousness. Jayden Pierce was transported to Memorial Hospital Central, where medical personnel tried unsuccessfully to resuscitate him.
The El Paso County Coroner's Office determined the cause of death to be multiple blunt force strikes, and ruled the death a homicide. James was charged with first-degree murder.
