Charged in baby's death
BRADFORD, Pa. (AP) -- A man has been ordered to stand trial on charges he killed his infant son by lying on top of him after drinking alcohol.
Jeremy Hatch, 21, of McKean County is charged with homicide, assault and endangering the welfare of a child. He was ordered to stand trial at a preliminary hearing Friday.
Hatch maintained he doesn't know how 4-month-old Jeremy Hatch Jr. died on March 27. The child was smothered and had been abused prior to his death, according to authorities.
The baby's mother, Ashley Wilmoth, testified that Hatch was playing a video game on the couch and had a case of beer out the night before the child's death. Early the next morning, she said, Hatch woke her asking for Tylenol, and she told him where to find Tylenol 3, which contains codeine. When she awoke later, she said, she asked Hatch where the baby was. The next thing she knew, she testified, Hatch was "pulling the baby out of the couch."
