Leiland-James Corkill: Laura Castle found guilty of murder
Laura Castle, 38, claimed 13-month-old Leiland-James Corkill fell off a sofa at their home in Barrow on January 6 last year. But doctors told Preston Crown Court that his injuries were like those of a high-speed car crash victim.
The baby, who had lived with Castle and her husband Scott for five months, suffered a brain bleed and cardiac arrest and died the next day.
Scott was cleared of allowing the death of a child.
His wife will be sentenced next week.
Guilty...Laura Castle and victim baby Leiland-James
