EDWARDSVILLE, Ill. ? A man who said he hit his infant
in the abdomen to make the boy a better athlete was sentenced to 40 years
in
prison Thursday. Kwayera Jackson, 20, was convicted of first-degree murder
in September
in the death of his 5-month-old son. The former high school football star
testified
