Many people had praised Tony Hudgell’s bravery and tenacity after he recovered from his biological parents’ horrific torture when he was a newborn.
In 2018, the vicious mother Simpson and the nefarious father Smith were found guilty of child abuse and sentenced to ten years in jail.
On October 16, 2018, the jury returned unanimous guilty verdicts in less than an hour.
In court, the mother of the 41-day-old infant, who suffered eight limb fractures, sobbed as she admitted she had failed to “keep him safe from his father.”
During the prosecution’s cross-examination, Simpson admitted to failing to fulfill a mother’s “first and most critical job of protecting her child.”
