first-degree murder and first-degree child
abuse in the deathof his 2-year-old son.
Marc Minter, 30, is scheduled to appear
in 29th District Court inWayne Aug. 22 for
a preliminary examination on the
charges. His probable cause conference
on the charges took place before visiting
Judge Sabrina Johnson last week at the
Wayne court.
Minter was originally charged on July
28 with the death following what Wayne
police described as a lengthy investiga-
tion. The charges stemmed from the death
of the child which took place Oct. 19.
Police were called to the Wayne home
near Williams and Annapolis following a
report of a child who was not breathing.
The childwas transported to a local hospi-
tal wherehewas pronounceddead.
An autopsy by the office of the Wayne
County Medical
E x a m i n e r
determined the
cause of death
as “blunt force
trauma to the
back.”
A sister of
the deceased
child, 7-months
old at the time
of the incident,
was suffering
from two broken legs at the time of the
October investigation.
No bond was set for Minter during his
arraignment on the charges and he
remains incarcerated at the Wayne
County Jail awaiting trial.
If convicted, he could face life in
prison.
