Dayton father pleads guilty in infant abuse case
Jun. 10—A Dayton man has pleaded guilty as charged after he was accused of hurting his 5-month-old child.
Brandon Landsiedel, 24, pleaded guilty in Montgomery County Common Pleas Court to one felony count of endangering children, according to a plea agreement filed Tuesday.
The charge could result in fines up to $10,000 and prison terms of nine months to three years.
One condition of the agreement is that Landsiedel have no contact with the child.
He was charged after an incident Nov. 1, 2024, when police were called to Dayton Children's Hospital for a 5-month-old child with "significant injuries," according to the Montgomery County prosecutor's Office.
The prosecutor's office said that Landsiedel was the infant's father and primary caregiver, and was present when the injuries occurred.
"The child's injuries are inconsistent with the defendant's explanation," the prosecutor's office said.
Landsiedel is scheduled to be sentenced June 26.

After a Wild Day in Court, Weinstein Jurors Will Resume Deliberations
After a wild day in court in which jurors in Manhattan convicted Harvey Weinstein of a felony sex crime but were then sent home to cool off, they will return to court on Thursday to continue their deliberations. On Wednesday, the panel of seven women and five men announced a partial verdict, convicting Mr. Weinstein on a single count of criminal sexual act and acquitting him of another count of the same charge. They have so far been unable to reach a consensus on a charge of third-degree rape. With the verdict, Mr. Weinstein, once a powerful Hollywood mogul, was convicted a second time on sex crime charges in New York. The jurors were ordered by the judge overseeing the trial, Curtis Farber of New York City Criminal Court, to continue deliberating on the final charge, which centers on accusations that Mr. Weinstein attacked Jessica Mann, an aspiring actress, in a Manhattan hotel room in 2013. They were sent home early on Wednesday after their deliberations had devolved into threats and yelling, according to the jury foreman, who complained to the judge that the other jurors were unduly pressuring him. The dramatic developments this week are another chapter in the yearslong saga of Mr. Weinstein's criminal trials and civil lawsuits after investigations by The New York Times and The New Yorker found that Mr. Weinstein had mistreated women and that his company had covered it up.

Father accused of breaking WA infant's bones for being ‘demanding and needy'
A 28-year-old father allegedly admitted to a 'pattern of violent and aggressive' outbursts that left his 2-month-old son with several broken bones. Deven J. Cooper of Kennewick told police the baby had been demanding and needed constant attention. His patience had worn thin and he allegedly began hurting the boy. Now prosecutors have charged Cooper with second-degree assault of a child. He is being held in the Benton County jail in lieu of a $200,000 bond. Cooper and his wife allegedly brought the child to Trios Southridge Hospital on June 2 after his wife found one of the infant's legs was more solid than the other one. When doctor's examined the child, they found his left leg had been badly broken. The child was rushed to Sacred Heart Medical Center in Spokane for treatment. When doctors examined the baby there, they found he had multiple small breaks in both legs, a broken clavicle as well bruises on his arm. While the couple told doctors that they believed Cooper had rolled over on the child while they were sleeping together, the doctors said the injuries didn't match the story. A Spokane officer questioned the couple, and after they shared various stories, the officer spoke to Cooper alone. After being told that the story didn't make sense, Cooper allegedly admitted becoming angry with the child. He allegedly grabbed the child by the leg and stood him up using it. Cooper said he was angry, so he pushed the child down to get the swaddle as tight as possible. He told investigators that his wife didn't know anything about the abuse. The baby and his older brother were taken into protective custody by Child Protective Services.
