A Bridgeport man was convicted Wednesday of attempted murder for causing what prosecutors described as catastrophic injuries to his newborn son.
Daniel Rohloff, 35, was also found guilty of aggravated assault, endangering the welfare of a child, and related crimes after a two-day bench trial before Montgomery County Court Judge Thomas P. Rogers.
Investigators later discovered that there were surveillance cameras in the home installed by Rohloff, and uncovered footage of Rohloff carrying his son into a bedroom before covering the camera’s lens with a cloth. Immediately afterward, they said, the child could be heard wailing. Assistant District Attorney Brianna Ringwood said Rohloff, an admitted methamphetamine user, didn’t believe the child was his, and saw the boy as the source of his life’s problems.
“The critical inquiry of this case lies in regard to reasonable doubt,” Genovese said. “And I think the evidence falls woefully short of a specific intent to kill.”
