Father Pleads Innocent to Baby's Murder
Rutland, Vermont - June 23, 2008
Salvatore Macewan, 22, pleaded not guilty Monday to a charge of second-degree murder.
The state argued he killed his five-week-old son, named Angelo, on the night of December 15.
"He by his own admissions was the person caring for this child during the window when medical experts believe these injuries to have occurred," said Assistant Attorney General Annika Frostick.
According to court papers, Macewan told police he and the boy's mother returned to their Rutland home around 1 a.m. from celebrating a birthday at a local bar. He put the baby in a swing and went to sleep. When he woke up at 3 a.m., he found the baby was not moving, so he shook him. He performed CPR and called 911. Angelo Macewan was pronounced dead at the hospital.
A doctor said the injuries were as severe as what a baby would suffer in a car crash.
