While waiting for Kim Murphree I sat in on the sentencing of Jason W. Dillon in Division 4 court. Dillon pleaded no contest to 2nd degree murder and abuse of a child in the case. Dillon, after a cocaine and alcohol binge, was babysitting the child of his girlfriend, Rachel Perkins. He admitted to hitting the baby in the back of the head 13 times...then, told Rachel Perkins the child had fallen down the stairs when he noticed the child, Sydney Perkins, wasn't breathing.
As per the plea agreement, he was found guilty of aggravated murder and sentenced to 165 months; for abuse of a child, Dillon was sentenced to 34 months. He will have the opportunity to get a reduced sentence at a prison institution for good behaviour.
