Wallace says the boy fell and hit his head. But. Prosecutors say this cant be true. And the boys injuries prove this point. Here is a portion of the closing statements.

The District Attorneys Office must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that they were intentional. These injuries could not happen from one or two or three falls from a chair.
