IDAHO FALLS – A jury found an Idaho Falls father guilty of shaking his then 2-month-old and causing serious injury.
On the morning of Apr. 11, 2009, Brad Zsadanyi told police he was
alone with the baby but adamantly denied knowing how he got hurt.
Baby Jacob was diagnosed with Shaken Baby Syndrome. The doctor who
first treated the infant testified in court this week the child came
into the emergency room in critical condition and had blood on his
swollen brain.
The infant suffered severe head trauma and is now blind in one eye.
The infant's mother testified she had asked Zsadanyi what happened.
He told her he didn't support the child's head. When she confronted him
a second time, he changed his story. He said while he was holding the
baby, the child fell onto his chest.
Zsadanyi now faces a maximum of 10 years in prison. He will be sentenced March 13.
