Man Cries In Court After Murdering & Sexually Assaulting Infant Daughter
People like this don't deserve any mercy.
22 year old James Saltmarshall has been charged with the first degree murder and sexual assault of his 8 month old daughter, Janiyah. He recently had his first court date where he broke down in tears pleading his innocence.
The young girl had been in the custody of James’ mother, Aisha Saltmarshall, but was returned to her father and his girlfriend just days before her death. Although Aisha admits that she fought with the police and the caseworker with Child Protective Services that the young girl wasn’t going to be safe, her pleas were ignored.
Unfortunately, only a few days later, Inkster Police Department received a call in the afternoon about an unresponsive infant found at the Alpine Motel, where James and his girlfriend were living. Although the baby was rushed to the hospital suffering from trauma to her head and rectal tearing, she eventually passed as a result of her injuries.
Initially, James told police that he was sleeping on a bed next to his daughter and got up to use the bathroom, and when he returned, his daughter wasn’t breathing. He claims that he called 911 and started performing CPR on the infant.
However, according to Daily Mail, Lt Jeffrey Smith said, “the suspect’s story later changed, and in a subsequent interview the 22-year-old claimed that his daughter fell off the bed and he shook her in an attempt to wake her up.” Of course, when he was confronted with evidence of an alleged sexual assault on the child, the father changed his story once again and suggested that someone may have broken into their hotel room while they were asleep and done something to her.
Once the sick father was arrested and appeared before the 22nd District Court Judge Sabrina Johnson, he revealed how much of a coward he truly is. As onlookers stared at him in disgust, he was seen sobbing uncontrollably and begging to talk to his mom. -(Mad News World via Daily Mail)
