Ex-airman: Baby's death an accident
Though he denies killing the boy, Corbett, now 25, is undergoing counseling because he is
"feeling responsible since he was entrusted with the care of the child and bears the guilt of how what might be considered neglect on his part has devastated the child's mother," defense attorney Joseph A. Hurley wrote.
-------------------
Hurley wrote that on the day Evan suffered his fatal injuries, Corbett had walked down the stairs to the kitchen, heard the noise and found the boy, a chain of events the defense described as a "tragic accident."
Corbett was being released on bond Friday, state prison officials said.
-------------------------
"I'm disgusted but the fight for Evan isn't over," said Nicole Dudley, the boy's mother said.
-----------------------
Reigle's order requires Corbett to report to the state pretrial services office so he can be supervised while on bail and to
wear an electronic monitoring bracelet. He can also have no contact or be within 300 feet of any children, including his own three, to surrender his passport and not leave Delaware.
------------------------
Prosecutor Josette D. Manning, who opposed Hurley's motion, wrote that
several doctors, including an assistant state medical examiner, have "opined that Evan died as a direct result of inflicted trauma." The state conducted a "painstaking, thorough and exhaustive investigation that led to only one conclusion: Justin Corbett beat Evan Dudley to death."
