Father gets 30 years for son’s death
A “man” was sentenced to 30 years in prison for the murder of his infant son by striking him so hard he crashed into a fish stand and died.
William J. Duncan II, 25, asserted in court, “I am not a monster. … I think I’m good enough to take care of kids.”
Duncan, who pleaded guilty to aggravated manslaughter in March, admitted he was lying on the floor on May 23, 2006, with his son, William J. III on his chest when he pushed the child with “some force.”
“That angered and affronted me to hear (Duncan) describe himself as a good father,” Assistant Prosecutor Vincent Malfitano said after the court hearing. “This particular death is unexplainable. … It was completely pointless and senseless.”
