Kingsland man pleads guilty to murder of step-son
Submitted by highlander1 on
A Kingsland man was sentenced to 50 years imprisonment after pleading guilty to the death of his 19-month-old step-son.
Michael Grogg, 27, is not the biological father of the boy, but was on the birth certificate of Paydin Grogg, said a District Attorney’s Office statement released Tuesday.
Paydin Grogg died on July 28, 2013 after the decision was made to remove him from life support. He had been admitted to the hospital three days prior with “severe brain injury and swelling, likely caused by a combination of blunt force trauma and shaking,” the release stated.
Michael Grogg was arrested Aug. 2, 2013.
He was sentenced by 424th District Court Judge Evan Stubbs.
