As collected in the sentence, “the defendant attacked his son under 7 years of age, taking advantage not only of the fact that the child was not going to wait for an attack of the person who must watch over him and protect him, but from the disproportion of forces existing between a child under 7 and a young adult and consumed its purpose with great ease, it took the neck and strangled it, but not before having immobilized the child using the feet since fibers of the minor’s shirt were found in the flip flops that the accused carried, behavior that defines itself and is worthy of a forceful criminal reproach ».
