A 2-month-old infant, Jack, who police say was shaken, smothered and bitten by his 26-year-old father is clinging to life at Children’s Hospital. The father, Koller of Lafayette, and his wife, Jennifer Schmidt, 20, brought their baby son to Avista Hospital in Louisville on July 21 with a skull fracture, multiple bruises and bite marks. Jack wasn’t responsive and was transported to Children’s Hospital, where doctors told police that Jack has “considerable widespread brain damage.” Doctors said that if the child lives, he “may never walk, talk or be able to feed himself.
Koller is being held in lieu of a $1 million bond at the Boulder County Jail and is scheduled to be charged Friday with felony child abuse resulting in serious bodily injury.
