An Indiana man allegedly told police he was not sure if he was the person who caused his infant daughter near-fatal wounds.
Kyle James Lawson, 28, was arrested on two counts of neglect of a dependent resulting in serious injury after his 3-month-old daughter was brought to a hospital in the brinks of death on July 13.
“(The infant) had been injured several times in the weeks prior to her near-fatal event as evidence by prior bruises, prior subconjunctival hemorrhages, and multiple healing fractures on initial X-rays,” the doctor’s report read.
The infant suffered a sudden respiratory arrest, a brain injury and had 18 broken ribs, a broken leg, and a broken finger when she arrived at the hospital.
Surveillance footage allegedly caught Lawson shaking her three times and flipping her over by the leg that day.
During questioning, Lawson claimed suffering memory lapses and “time blindness” as an ADHD symptom.
“Maybe I shook her, I don’t really know,” he allegedly said.
