Father Sentenced in Son's Murder
Posted: Feb 14, 2012 11:04 AM CST

A 22-year-old Shreveport man has been sentenced to life in prison without parole for killing his infant son.

Grady Thornton was convicted last week of second-degree murder for the killing of his 3-month-old son, Terrell.

Thornton was sentenced Monday after state District Judge Scott Crichton denied a defense motion to convict him of negligent homicide. The child was brought to a hospital on June 24, 2008, and died the next day. Police said Thornton admitted he struck the boy in the head because the infant was crying and squeezed the boy's head hard until he stopped crying. An autopsy found the victim had a skull fracture and other injuries tied to being shaken.
