BRIDGETON, N.J. (AP) - May 10, 2009
Cumberland County prosecutors said 22-year-old Terell L. Hubbard
of Vineland was watching the girl by himself on Oct. 20 when he
apparently became agitated because she wouldn't stop crying. They
say he threw 21-week-old Lanaya Hubbard on a bed, but she instead
struck a wall.
Hubbard called 911 and the girl was hospitalized, but she died
three days later.
The case remained under investigation, and Hubbard was charged
after prosecutors received an autopsy report Thursday that
indicated brain stem trauma was the major cause of death.
Hubbard, who was being held on $100,000 bail, could get 30 years
in prison if convicted. He has not yet retained an attorney.
