Mason Decosmos tiny 2-year-old body was struck with so violently that his pancreas was torn in two and his liver was damaged, resulting in internal bleeding, according to Dutchess County Medical Examiner Dennis Chute.
But that was not all revealed in the fourth day of his mother Kaitlin Wolfert's civil trial at Ulster County Family Court. Chute, who conducted an autopsy on the boy in August, described how the Mason also suffered bleeding in his brain, scratches on his skull, a fractured rib and torn skin on his anus.
There were also the bruises. Too many bruises. Chute said he counted more than 60 bruises covering the boys body, including his penis and scrotum.

Chute gave his testimony on Thursday in Ulster County Family Court in Kingston, where Masons mother Kaitlin Wolfert, 22, is on trial for civil charges of negligence and severe abuse in connection with his death on Aug. 5 at their home in a Milton trailer park.
Wolferts live-in boyfriend, Kenneth Stahli, 27, faces charges of second-degree murder in criminal court in Masons death.

Wolfert knew Mason "had injuries," Pavloudakis said. "She just never sought medical attention. Every time I asked" her why she didn't go to the doctor, Wolfert said she was worried that CPS (Child Protective Services) would be called if she took him...
Wolfert told Pavloudakis that during the last week of Mason's life, he "pooped out a blood clot vomited a black substance" and had bruises on his abdomen, back, face and groin-area, along with "crescent-shaped" marks that Wolfert believes were bite marks on his arm, Pavloudakis said.
