The Morning Call of Allentown reports a federal magistrate on Tuesday found the father of 4-year-old Daviay Legrand made virtually no contribution to the boy's life and therefore wasn't entitled to any of the settlement.
Andre Watley had requested part of the settlement reached between the city of Allentown and Crystal Legrand over the boy's May 2007 death when a collision between two police cruiser pushed one vehicle on to a sidewalk.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Henry Perkin said Watley denied paternity until he took a court-ordered paternity test and was incarcerated for all but seven months of Daviay Legrand's life.
Watley is serving a prison sentence for drug and weapons convictions.
