Man sentenced to life for 6-month-old’s death

Fort Scott Ks policeFORT SCOTT, Kan. (AP) — A southeast Kansas man was sentenced to life in prison with no chance of parole for 25 years in the death of a 6-month-old boy.

District Court Judge Mark Ward on Friday sentenced 22-year-old Anthony Michael Anderson of Fulton. He was convicted in May in Bourbon County of first-degree murder and child abuse.

The child died in April 2015 after he was injured in Fort Scott.

Fort Scott police said at the time that officers were called to a Fort Scott home and found the child injured. Police say the child was injured at a different address.

Investigators were first told the child, whose name has not been officially released, had fallen off a sofa.
