Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty for a man accused of killing his girlfriend's 10-month-old son in May.
(...)
Barnes, 26, was arrested in connection with the death of Jeffrey Baby J Phillips III at the home of his girlfriend on May 6.
(...)
Barnes was watching the infant at the west Tallahassee home when he called 911 to report Jeffrey was not breathing and was unresponsive.

Medical examiners said the infant died of a broken spinal cord and a severed aorta. The ME said it appeared Jeffrey had been slammed against something "so forcefully that it broke the baby's back and caused the baby to bleed to death" within seconds or minutes.
