Man sentenced for killing baby

Twenty-five years to life. That's the sentence Oneida man, Adam Theall faces after he killed his three-month old baby. The 21-year-old put his son on top of the muzzle of a loaded shot gun and pulled the trigger on his mother's porch last June.

Theall appeared in court today and his demeanor was very different from his plea where he sobbed through much of the proceedings. Theall swore at the baby's mother, Jamie Baker and her family during court proceedings today.

Theall claims that he committed the act last June because he was high on drugs.

According to Oneida County District Attorney, Scott McNamara, Theall "committed this act because he's a very mean and angry individual."

McNamara added that Theall was upset with the baby's mother because she began dating someone else. McNamara believes that since Theall couldn't hurt Baker, killing her child would be punishing her for doing something he didn't want her to do.
