Detroit dad paddled toddler to death for bed-wetting, jury told

Detroit — Bianca Jones was "unwanted and unloved" by her father, prosecutors say, and the man fatally beat the toddler for wetting her bed before throwing away her body like trash.

Wayne County prosecutors contend D'Andre Lane paddled the child to death on Dec. 2, disposed of her corpse at an incinerator and fabricated an armed carjacking to cover up the crime.

The scenario was laid out in closing arguments Wednesday at the close of the father of seven's felony murder trial in Wayne Circuit Court.

"Bianca Jones is dead. She died at 2 years old and he killed her," Assistant Prosecutor Carin Goldfarb told jurors.
