BAKERSFIELD FATHER SENTENCED FOR BABY MURDER

A Bakersfield father has been sentenced to 31 years to life in prison for killing his four-month-old son in front of his two-year-old daughter.

22-year-old Stepfon Jones drop kicked the baby into an apartment wall two years ago when the infant wouldn’t stop crying, and Deputy DA Gina Pearl says he also waited 18 hours to get medical treatment.

Jones was on probation for elder abuse when he was arrested for the attack on California Avenue near Bakersfield High School.
