Floyd Bingaman denied new trial for baby's death
October 2, 2012 - 12:44 pm
HAGERSTOWN, Md. (AP) - A Hagerstown man serving 30 years for shaking his girlfriend's infant son to death won't get a new trial.
The Herald-Mail reported Tuesday that a judge has denied 26-year-old Floyd Bingaman's motion to re-open his case.
A jury convicted Bingaman in 2007 of involuntary manslaughter and first-degree child abuse in the death of 4-month-old Justice Myers-Cannon.
Bingaman had claimed ineffective assistance by his trial defense attorney.
The case led to the passage of a state law this year that increased the maximum penalty for first-degree child abuse resulting in death to 40 years from 30.
