He'd only been looking after this 6 week old baby for two hours, at his own request. And had been getting obsessive about his new girlfriend, baby Alfie's Mother....And he tried to blame emergency responders for the injuries. He was still cleared of murder though, and just found guilty of manslaughter.
Family will be making a statement soon.
'A man has been found guilty of killing his girlfriend's six-week-old son by beating him repeatedly with a shoe and plastic bottle.
Michael John Pearce was babysitting Alfie Sullock at his home in a south Wales village while the child's mother, Donna Sullock, went for her first night out since giving birth.
Pearce claimed he had no idea how Alfie came by his injuries. He said he left Alfie for "30 seconds" while he went to the toilet and noticed the child had stopped breathing on his return. Pearce also claimed that paramedics shook Alfie on their arrival which ambulance staff dispute'

Michael Pearce, 33, was accused of beating baby Alfie Sullock with a baseball boot and bottles of bubble bath and baby powder as he babysat at his home in Nelson, near Merthyr, last summer.
But the jury of eight men and four women rejected the prosecution case that Pearce had deliberately beaten Alfie to death, inflicting fatal brain injuries during a motiveless attack.
Boyfriend Pearce had encouraged the new mum to go out for an evening with the girls by volunteering to babysit. He texted her photographs of Alfie during the evening claiming it was to reassure her the baby was okay.
In reality Alfie had almost certainly already been fatally injured and the photographs were part of Pearces frantic cover up efforts to make it appear the baby was healthy and unhurt.
