Father charged with killing twins
David R. Yates of Baraboo, Wisconsin is being accused of killing his 5-week-old twins, who were found under his bed. Will there be any outcries of sympathy because he is mentally ill, and obviously didn’t get the support he needs, as there would be if he was a woman? Doubtful.
The babies died of “multiple acute blunt force traumas,” a criminal complaint said, but it did not specify how the injuries occurred.
Sauk County District Attorney Patricia Barrett said they either were hit with something or were hit into something.
“These are non-accidental. Somebody had to cause them,” she said.
Defense lawyer Paul Polacek said he may ask for the charges to be dismissed because the complaint doesn’t say how the defendant is alleged to have killed the infants.
