(Fulton County, IN) - A North Liberty man has received a hefty jail sentence in connection with the death of a baby last year in Fulton County.

In July of 2022, police responded to a home east of Rochester in response to a report of an unresponsive child. First responders found an unconscious three-month-old, who was pronounced dead.

32-year-old Darren Corbett, formerly of North Liberty, was living with the baby’s mother at the time. An autopsy showed blunt-force trauma caused brain bleeding, and the baby had traces of narcotics in his system.

Corbett was charged with Murder, Aggravated Battery of a Minor resulting in Death, and Neglect of a Dependent. In June, a jury found Corbett guilty of the two lesser charges. On Wednesday, a judge sentenced him to 40 years in prison.
