Man who injured his six-week-old baby so badly his legs were amputated loses parole bid appeal
The Parole Board ruled: "Having considered the index offences, relevant patterns of previous offending and the other evidence before it, the panel listed as risk factors those influences which made it more likely that Mr Smith would reoffend.
"At the time of his offending, these risk factors had included Mr Smith's chaotic life, his abuse of drugs and his use of alcohol. "He has acted recklessly and impulsively and has struggled to manage extreme emotions," the ruling continued. "The panel considered his relationships, isolation, boredom, poor decision making and an inability to deal with life's problems to be further areas of risk. Specifically, he has no concept of the responsibilities entailed in caring for a child."
The board said he would be due to be released at the end of his sentence in September 2027 "unless found suitable for a return to the community before that date as the result of a future parole review".
