A Tennessee man has pleaded not guilty to second degree murder in the 2016 death of his teenaged daughter who Vermont State Police say was originally injured when she was an infant. The Caledonian Record reports that 44-year-old Jason Roberts was arraigned Monday in Orleans County court. Police say Madison Simoneau, formerly Destiny Roberts, died at age 15 on July 16, 2016, at Boston Children’s Hospital as a result of complications of an intentional injury she sustained in February 2001, when she was just over a month old. Roberts, Madison’s biological father, was previously convicted of domestic assault in connection with her injuries.
