A physician testified Wednesday at the trial of a man accused killing a baby that the head injuries the child suffered were not accidental.
Jeffery Tippett is standing trial in Corner Brook on a second-degree murder charge related to the 2007 death of Tameron Rose, an 11-month-old boy.
St. John's-based pediatric radiologist Angie Pickles said Wednesday she found three areas of bleeding when she examined Rose.
Pickles told the jury she was "concerned that it was the result of non-accidental head trauma" and referred the matter to an ophthalmologist and social services.
On Tuesday, an emergency call that Jeffery Tippett made about an ailing Tameron Rose was played for a Supreme Court of Newfoundland and Labrador jury.
During the call, Tippett can be heard calmly explaining to a nurse that the baby "was having a tantrum, crying, and then suddenly went limp."
When asked if he needed an ambulance, Tippett repeated that the baby was completely limp.
The day of the alleged incident in 2007, Tippett's girlfriend, Tanya Tulk, was babysitting Tameron Rose.
The Crown said in court that it will prove that Tippett was looking after the baby while his girlfriend took a nap. It was during this time that the crown alleges Tameron Rose became unresponsive.
Crown and defence lawyers have already entered a statement of facts on some issues.
The defence and Crown agreed that nearly three weeks after the baby's death, Tippett fabricated a story that the baby had fallen and hit his head on Tippett's knee. Tippett began limping, but x-rays showed there was nothing wrong with his knee.
The trial that began in late May was scheduled to run more than six weeks.
