Dad Convicted of Murdering His Five-Week-Old Baby Girl.
A 35-year-old man from England has been found guilty of murdering his tiny daughter after she suffered a catastrophic brain injury and dozens of broken bones from repeated assaults at their home.
Sean Jefferson, of Birch Court, was convicted at Stafford Crown Court of killing Darcy-Leigh Jefferson. The five-week-old baby, born premature, died in hospital on March 29, 2022, just two days after getting the fatal head injury.
Court heard she'd been hit with multiple attacks in the days before, ending up with 47 rib fractures plus breaks in both legs inflicted at different times. Prosecutors said Jefferson caused the brain injury by shaking her violently or striking her head against something when she was crying.
The mom, Amy Leigh Clark, 34, got convicted of causing or allowing the death of a child and two counts of causing or allowing serious harm. Charges of murder or manslaughter against her were dropped earlier in the trial.
