Charges against a Colorado man accused of killing his girlfriend's baby have been dropped after a prosecutor made disparaging remarks about him during an interview.
William Jacobs, 22, was accused of shaking 10-month-old Edward Hayes to death at the Motel 6 in Canon City the three of them were living at on May 21, 2023.
Police said he was looking after Hayes while the baby's 21-year-old mother, Brook Crawford, was at work and had previously admitted to abusing him.
One year after Hayes death, the charges against Jacobs have been dismissed by a Fremont County judge because of comments 11th Judicial District Attorney Linda Stanley made during an interview, reported the Canon City Daily Record.
'I'm going to be very blunt here. He has zero investment in this child. Zero. He's watching that baby so he can get laid. That's it. And have a place to sleep,' Stanley told KRDO in August.
'I had just had so many buzzers going off when they said the boyfriend was watching him. There was a whole lot of things indicative of a prior incident with that baby.'
Jacobs was reportedly staying at the Motel 6 where Crawford worked at the front desk, then moved into her room shortly after they met.
On May 21, 2023, police were called to the Motel 6 where Hayes was found unresponsive and transported to Children's Hospital in Colorado Springs, where he died two days later.
According to an arrest affidavit, Jacobs said he was changing the baby's diaper when 'he went stiff and began making gargling noises.'
He admitted to biting Hayes arm while playing with him and hitting the baby's head on the bathroom door frame while trying to make him throw up.

No justice for that poor baby~
What a pant load. This is another reason our legal system is a laughingstock. Where’s the justice for the victims?
I’m speechless. All these years I’ve been fighting for babies and then this happens. This woman has the IQ of an Ash tray and I’d tell her so to her face.
Perhaps not in the courtroom, but who knows what might happen beyond the courtroom.
This judge.....
.
All the defendants have more rights than a former POTUS.
Surely this moron, Linda Stanley, is related to Juan Merchan...
Like sticking your hand into a 20-year-old cesspool tank and scooping up a handful of Stanley-Merchan...
Woodchipper worthy...
“Like sticking your hand into a 20-year-old cesspool tank and scooping up a handful of Stanley-Merchan...”
We need a vaccine for that.
He’s watching that baby so he can get laid.
= = =
Oh, He’s replacing the dead baby. How considerate.
Jacobs.
There should be some!
He’ll have to answer to God someday, and I’d hate to be in the perps shoes 👟 on that day!
Colorado Ping ( Let me know if you wish to be added or removed from the list.)
I’m sure he’ll be a good lad from now on.
Someone just might hasten that day you speak of.
So fire the prosecutor and get another one. Why drop the charges?
Presumably the charges were dropped because the prosecutor’s comments prejudiced potential jurors. Probably he isn’t supposed to comment that way, just say they have evidence, etc.
Total jerks, prosecutor and judge. Is the prosecutor an elected official?
i fail to see the problem... change of venue
Whatever happened to” “I can’t comment on open cases”?
