TROY, Ohio (WDTN) - A Troy father admitted to a Miami County judge Monday that he beat his infant son to death. Jason Durig , who once claimed he was insane, now pleads guilty to murder and child endangering.
Durig's crime shocked his Troy neighborhood in July, when his 8-month-old son Calab was found beaten to death. Investigators said not only was Calab covered in blood and bruises, he also had adult bite marks on his body.
Durig originally entered a plea of not guilty by reason of insanity. He's now scheduled for sentencing on January 24, 2011. He faces a mandatory sentence of 15 years to life for the murder charge and between two and eight years for child endangering.
Durig has a dark history when it comes to kids. He served time for burning a child in the past, which raised questions about how he was allowed to be around baby Calab.
Durig's wife, Tara Durig, is facing charges of permitting child abuse and child endangering. Her trial is scheduled for December 14th.
