NC - Jacy Henderson-Bullard, 7 mos, dies of head injury, Carthage, 23 Aug 2008

July 2010:

Jamie Marcus Bullard, 19, had been in jail for nearly two years awaiting trial after Moore County sheriff's deputies arrested and charged him with murder and two counts of child abuse inflicting serious injury in the death of his 7-month-old son, Jacy Marcus Henderson-Bullard, who died Aug. 24, 2008...

Under the terms worked out, Bullard entered an Alford plea to involuntary manslaughter and one of the felony child abuse counts. In return for his guilty plea, he received an active sentence roughly equal to the time he had already served, plus a number of years of supervised probation.

The problem, attorneys told Webb, was that two weeks ago, in a meeting in Raleigh with a state medical examiner, they had learned the original skull fracture -which didn't show clearly on CAT scans, but showed as a line on one side in X-rays - happened at some point in seven to 10 days before the baby was examined at FirstHealth.

There had been many caretakers during that period of time, Webb was told...

Until two weeks ago, investigators, prosecutors and Lapping all believed the fatal injury had happened within a narrow time frame of a few hours when Bullard had sole care of his son.
