A senseless crime in Detroit takes us back to a crime that occurred a few years ago just outside of Flint, and reminds us how precious and vulnerable children really are.
The story is beyond tragic. Four year-old Dominick Calhoun died in April of 2010 after suffering days of abuse by his mother's live in boyfriend, Brandon Hayes. Now a book has been published in which Corrine Baker, Dominick's mother claims innocence of any crime and as you can imagine, this community's reaction has been strong.
A jury in St. Clair County has found Brandon Hayes guilty on all 10 counts in the death of his former girlfriend's son, Dominick Calhoun. Calhoun was beaten to death in April of 2010.
We were all heart-broken when we heard of the tragic death of Dominick Calhoun on April 12, 2010. Now, almost a year-and-a-half later, jury selection is under way for the trial of Brandon Hayes.
Hayes was charged with the abuse, torture and murder of Dominic on April 15, 2010. Corrine Baker, Dominick's mother who was also beaten, was charged with second-degree murder on April 23, 2010.
