More charges possible
• Sandy Conyers, the Williamsburg-James City prosecutor who handled David Patton’s case in 2007, said further charges would be considered now that Patton’s son, Jared, has died.
• David Patton is serving a five-year prison sentence handed down by Williamsburg-James City Circuit Court Judge Samuel Powell in 2007.
• Conyers said the commonwealth’s attorney’s office is awaiting a medical examiner’s report on Jared’s death.
• “We haven’t received anything yet regarding the cause of death,” Conyers said Tuesday. “Any further charges will depend on the cause of death.”
Here at Shaken Baby Syndrome of Virginia, Inc., our initiative is to reach out to the community through education and awareness of SBS. Our trainers conduct seminars of all sizes in order to provide parents with valuable information on what to do when a baby cries, as well as the consequences of Shaken Baby Syndrome (SBS). We are an organization inspired by the co-founders' journey with their grandson, Jared Nicolas. Jared suffered severe brain damage at just six weeks of age and fought for his life until his tragic death on December 11, 2009.
