Unbelievable Story of Infant Murder
This story is absolutely insane. Joseph Mouton, 57, has been charged with killing his 6-month-old son… THEN hiding his body in a refrigerator… AND he has not been charged with murder. His defense was that he was under the influence when the child was killed. Yet, he was previously arrested for battering the baby’s mother […]
