Redmond, 24, said he had just returned to the familys Maplewood neighborhood home from work on Oct. 15 when he threw 1-month-old Everett Redmond because the infant was fussy...
Redmond confessed that he lifted the infant over his head and threw him from a bed onto a changing table, a distance of 7 to 9 feet, Deputy Prosecutor Patrick Robinson has said. The baby weighed about 6 pounds...
David Redmond allegedly confessed that he had abused his son at other times during the infants brief life. He said he forced the babys mouth shut at the jaw to try to stop him from crying, squeezed him, threw him onto the bed and threw him against a couch, causing the baby to fall onto the floor, according to court documents. He also spanked the baby when the infant was 1 week old, court documents say.

Everett Redmond was taken to PeaceHealth Southwest Medical Center, then transferred to Randall Childrens Hospital at Legacy Emanuel Medical Center in Portland. He was kept alive with machines for a period of time before he died, Robinson said.
David Redmond initially claimed that the babys injuries came from him rolling over onto the baby while they were napping together or from the baby getting wedged between a couch and a chair, but he later recanted those stories, Hafer wrote.
Dan Leonhardt, a doctor at the childrens hospital, said that the baby had a large skull fracture with soft tissue swelling. He had bleeding inside his skull and hemorrhaging in his eyes that extended all the way out to the periphery, according to the affidavit. The doctor said the injuries were caused by blunt-force trauma and could not have resulted from the father and child napping together, Hafer wrote.
