At some point, prosecutors in Camden County, N.J., say, the woman’s 2-year-old boy became upset that 24-year-old Zachary Tricoche had pushed his mother and began to cry, according to the Courier-Post.
That’s when Tricoche attacked, prosecutors say, punching the 29-pound boy so hard that the toddler was launched into a wall, Camden County Assistant Prosecutor Christine Shah said at a court hearing last week, according to NJ.com.
Then, Shah said, Tricoche instructed the 36-inch-tall toddler to “put his hands up,” meaning “that he should form a boxing stance to fight this full-grown man,” NJ.com reported.
At that point, Tricoche hit the boy again, “causing J.B. to again strike his head on a wall and rendering him unconscious,” Shah said, according to the Courier-Post.

A medical examiner would later determine that the child’s liver has been crushed by the blows, leading him to bleed to death internally, WFMY reported. The station reported that “the official cause of death is blunt force trauma and the manner of death is homicide.”

Shah (Prosecutor) said Tricoche has a lengthy criminal history that includes a juvenile conviction for conspiracy to distribute narcotics and several adult convictions, NJ.com reported. In 2011, the outlet reported, he was convicted of distributing drugs in a school zone, which led him to serve a three-year prison term. In 2014, Tricoche was convicted of loitering to obtain a controlled substance, NJ.com reported.
My wife has a far lefty cousin who has to pull down about half of her posts when I show her how completely ridiculous they are.
