W.Pa. man to stand trial in infant's death
NORTH VERSAILLES, Pa. (AP) — A Pittsburgh-area man has been ordered to stand trial in the death of his 3-month-old son, who died of head injuries.
Fifty-four-year-old Michael Lewis, of North Versailles, was held for trial at a preliminary hearing Friday on one count of homicide. Several lesser charges were either dismissed or withdrawn by prosecutors.
Authorities responded to a call Feb. 7 at Michael Lewis's apartment and found him suffering from a possible overdose and the infant, DeCarlos Lewis, unresponsive.
The boy died a short time later at UPMC McKeesport hospital. An autopsy showed he died of blunt force trauma to the head.
