that she had never seen the victim cry in such
a manner. The defendant refused her request to tender the victim, so
she pulled the victim from the defendant’s arms, which angered the
defendant. They left K-Mart, and the defendant was still angry while
driving home.

        After arriving at home, the victim began showing signs of
sickness. The victim was very drowsy, had a fever, and vomited to
the point that he “threw up everything that went into his stomach.”
Tammy testified that the victim slept throughout Saturday night and
all day on Sunday, and although the victim remained drowsy and had
a poor appetite, he ceased vomiting. After Tammy expressed concern
for the victim's condition, the defendant stated that the victim “had
the punies” and would be okay. On Sunday night,Tammy went to
work at approximately 11:00 p.m., which left the defendant alone
with the victim. The next time Tammy saw the victim was at
approximately 4:00 a.m. at the hospital emergency room.

        Karen Headrick, an employee of the Department of
Children’s Services, testified that she visited with the defendant and
Tammy in the maternity ward of the hospital two days after the birth
of the victim. During that visit, the defendant and Tammy agreed to
a parenting plan in which the defendant was to have no unsupervised
contact with the victim; the defendant was to attend anger
management and parenting classes; and a Homemaker from the
department would visit the home three times per week. During that
meeting, the defendant was very cooperative and acknowledged that
he had an anger management problem.
