HASTINGS, Neb. (AP) - A jury has convicted a Hastings man accused of causing brain damage to his son.
Adams County District Court records say 26-year-old Angel Gutierrez-Huerta was found guilty Wednesday of negligent child abuse resulting in serious injury.
Hastings police say Gutierrez-Huerta took the baby to the emergency room at Mary Lanning Healthcare on Feb. 5 last year. Doctors there and others later at Omaha hospital found bleeding around the 7-month-old boy’s swelling brain and bleeding behind both eyes. A court document also says doctors found a skull fracture and a spinal cord injury.
