Sentencing of thug convicted of injuring baby girl in Jedburgh adjourned until next month
A thug convicted of severely injuring a baby girl to danger of her life following a jury trial at Edinburgh Sheriff Court will have to wait until next month to find out what punishment he faces.
Nathan Brown, 23, had denied hitting the two-month child in the face and repeatedly shaking her at a house in Jedburgh in July 2018 but was convicted by a majority verdict.
His lawyer claimed that Brown had dropped the youngster, said to have needed emergency brain surgery afterwards, by accident.
