SUMMARY: Timothy Warren Wilson, a 24-year-old Mississippi man, has been found guilty of violently shaking his 10-week-old daughter, causing severe brain and eye injuries. Police responded to an emergency call on December 19, 2022, after the baby was found unresponsive. Wilson confessed to shaking the baby out of frustration. During the trial, he claimed the baby had a seizure; however, medical experts testified that her injuries were consistent with abusive head trauma, commonly known as shaken baby syndrome. The coordinated efforts of local authorities and medical specialists helped secure the conviction. The child, fortunately, has made a full recovery. Wilson will be sentenced on May 13 and faces a minimum of five years in prison, with the possibility of life behind bars.
