MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA – A Minnesota man snapped this weekend and punched his 4-month-old daughter to death and is now charged with murder, prosecutors in Minneapolis announced Tuesday.
Cory Clifford Morris has been charged with second-degree murder in the death of his four-month-old daughter, Emersyn, Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman announced Tuesday.
Morris, 21, of Minneapolis, admitted to the initial responders that he struck his baby with a closed fist multiple times. The baby was taken to Hennepin County Medical Center where emergency medical personnel attempted unsuccessfully to treat her critical injuries. She had severe bruising and swelling to her face and chest area, and was pronounced dead from blunt force trauma.
“This poor baby, just four-months-old, died at the hands of her father, who has admitted to punching her 15 times with a closed fist and hitting her seven times in the chest. As a father and grandfather, such brutal actions are difficult for me to comprehend,” said Mike Freeman. “Family members have suggested there may be mental health issues here. These will need to be evaluated during the course of this case.”
According to the criminal complaint, police, fire and ambulance personnel responded to an emergency call on Sunday afternoon on the report that a father had called 911 and admitted killing his baby. When police arrived on the scene, they saw paramedics and firefighters performing CPR on a four-month-old infant girl. She was unconscious and the officers saw blood on the wall and floor near the changing table in the baby’s room.
When the officers on the scene placed Morris under arrest, his clothing, hands and arms were covered in dried blood and officers noticed swelling to his right hand.
After he was in custody, Morris told officers that he lives with his girlfriend who is the mother of Emersyn. The mother left for work that day and Morris was home alone with the baby. He said he was watching TV when she began making noises, which he described as baby talk. He took her out of her baby swing and carried her into her bedroom, where he placed her on the changing table. The baby continued making noises and Morris hit her to quiet her.
His girlfriend told officers that Morris watches the baby three to four times a week while she is at work. She had attempted to reach him throughout the day, but he did not respond to text messages. At approximately 4:45 p.m. she spoke to Morris and he told her he was going to jail because he had done something to their baby.
Morris is in custody and will make his first appearance tomorrow afternoon.
Here upheld is folks! Pure white trash! Can’t believe he found some nasty white trash woman to have his child. Look at this guy, if he has an IQ that is higher than 50, I would ask for a retest!
Sad, sad, sad ! He is guilty. Tax dollars (trial) should not be wasted on trash like him! He should be physically castrated to prevent future reproduction ! Let the big boys in prison have their way with that punching bag.
Damn Honkie. Send them all back to where they came from.
Peter Lagios, you couldn’t fight your way out of a wet paper sack, let beat anybody up. Quit trying to redeem yourself as a low life sperm donor that couldn’t protect his own child. And get that ring of your big jewish looking beak, you look like an idiot. Your son would be ashamed of you and what you have become.
If found guilty he needs to be executed.
This little prick will get his in prison! BUBBA is waiting for you
Death to that man. Quickly. I’d do it myself if Prosecutors would let me.
Maybe he should be beaten..hope he gets whats coming to him!
Maybe he should get beaten? I’m reporting your comment for being an ignorant understatement. Of course he should get beaten. And “what’s coming to him” is another hopeless delusion written by lazy people who want Puff the Magic Dragon to make the world right. What’s coming to him should not be left to “Bubba” as the above commdntator suggests, but to a calculated and reformed State which starts meting out punishments correctly to stop this institutional prison profiteering, and start delivering real justice for the victims and society. This punk should be beaten to death on live TV for all the world to see.
You are the one who should be beaten in public for allowing your son to die alone and scared.
You better talk to Chris and Tara about that. I wouldn’t know his final moments on this earth. Thanks for raising an important issue though Troll.
“I wouldn’t know his final moments on earth.” Yep that is right loser. What’s your excuse? Oh, she told me to stay away? So, you just gave up? Yeah, your poor excuse for a man. You sit around today and fight your little activism, but you couldn’t even fight for your own baby son you piece of crap. There is a special place for guys like you there Lagios, and it gonna be prison or hell. I hope you go to prison someday lunatic, so Jerome can put that thingy in your bottom that you oh so desire.
You hope i go to prison or hell? For what? Name my crimes.
Talk to those scum attorneys Ted Enabnit and Alfredo Parrish while you’re at it. Talk to the judge who released the baby killer without bail. Talk to the 12 jurors who set that POS free. Talk to the guys parents who put up the money for his defense. Talk to his friends who denied he killed a baby and stood by his side. Talk to the Catholic church. Talk to the incompetence at the AG’s office. Talk to your self. But don’t talk to me.
I am talking to the person who let the child down and was to busy getting stoned to protect his child.
And since I know why you are trying to get under my skin…I’ll send some love back your way. I’m sorry to hear of so many motorcyclists getting killed on the highways this summer. Tragic isn’t it? Don’t you agree Loud Pipes Save Lives? It’s working so well. Stay Anonymous and Stay Thirsty my friend.
Hey Peter Peter piece of shit eater! I got two friends dead from getting hit on their bikes from Shit like you. Best watch your comments about motorcycle riders.
Just as police hate the crime not the criminal, priests hate the sin not the sinner, and soldiers hate the soldier not the civilian, i hate the noise, and not the biker.
