Dad convicted of murdering baby girl

A man has been convicted of murdering his baby daughter in a "vicious attack" carried out in the family home.
Craig Jamieson, 30, from Drumchapel in Glasgow, was found guilty of killing four-month-old Abbie at a flat in the city's Dumbarton Road in February 2008.
Medical experts said her injuries were caused by her being hit off a hard surface like a wall or a worktop.
Jamieson, who showed no emotion as the verdict was read out, is facing life in jail when he is sentenced on Thursday.
Jamieson had lodged a special defence blaming Abbie's death on her 29-year-old mother Nichola Haddock, who is originally from Belfast.
However, prosecutors said the baby was uninjured when Ms Haddock went to university on the morning of 8 February, 2008.
Life imprisonment
It is believed the baby may have been swung by the ankles against something hard, then punched repeatedly in the stomach.
A jury at the High Court in Glasgow took just under four hours to convict Jamieson.
Temporary judge Alastair Stewart QC told Jamieson there was only one sentence he could pass, that of life imprisonment.
He said: "This has been a long case and an anxious one."
Prosecutor Lesley Shand QC told the court that unemployed Jamieson had one previous conviction for assault in 1999.

Abbie died after being hit off of a hard surface
The trial had heard Jamieson phoned his mother and Ms Haddock on the day Abbie died to tell them the child had gone white, was feverish and had injuries to her face and head.
When the baby was admitted to Yorkhill Hospital she had no pulse, no circulation and was unconscious and not breathing.
Paramedics and staff at the hospital described Ms Haddock as weeping and emotional, and Jamieson as distant.
Police who quizzed Jamieson after Abbie's death believed he was jealous of the attention Ms Haddock gave to her baby.
Det Sgt Duncan Cameron, 43, who interviewed Jamieson 55 minutes after Abbie's death, said: "He was unconcerned, not upset, not tearful. Not the reaction I would expect from a father who had recently lost his child."

I went to school with Nichola and I had no idea this was her until I saw her face on the news earlier tonight.

oh ffs. He was jealous. So he wates until the mother leaves for uni, then bashes her baby to death. 'Cos, like, that will make her lavish more attention on him won't it. The stupid little fuck!

And I really hope life means LIFE here. Death would be better, but life will do.

I rather he get life, death would just end it all for him. I want for him to live a hundred more years and each and every single day of his life, he is reminded of the innocent, sweet life he took away from this earth. That he hears the baby's cries, and that it tortures him to no end.

A father has been convicted of the murder of his four-month-old daughter for the second time.

Craig Jamieson, 32, was found guilty of killing Abbie following a retrial. He fatally injured the baby at their home in Dumbarton Road, in the Scotstoun area of Glasgow.
[...]

In April 2010 Jamieson was sentenced to life imprisonment for Abbie's murder following his conviction after trial, with a minimum period of 16 years.

A year later his conviction was overturned by the Appeal Court on the grounds that the trial judge had misdirected the jury in the case.
[...]

The mother told the court how she raced home from university to help her sick child.

She said: "I got into the flat and went straight into the living room. I called Abbie to say that I was home. Her chair was pointed towards the TV. She was quite pale and her eyes were staring into space.

"When I lifted her, her whole body went back. I screamed and fell to the floor on my knees. Craig called an ambulance. I was still holding her at that stage."

John Dunn, area procurator fiscal for Glasgow and Strathclyde, said: "Craig Jamieson's conviction for the brutal murder of his infant daughter Abbie demonstrates the commitment of the Crown to ensure that those who are guilty of murder and other serious offences against children will not escape justice."
