Code of harry: I know a few rural people who toss greywater (bathwater, sink water) outside on the lawn instead of the drain. For epople with dicey septic tanks, it can mean the difference between getting 10 more years out of the system or a $20,000 repair. Being a young mom, I am guessing she chose the former.

I do not know all the facts in this case, but this incident plus the fact that this baby had fratured ribs healing from at least a week or two earlier is not going to look good for this man in front of a judge.

First off I would like to know if swiftkarma has any children and if he/she does would he/she defend someone abusing his/her own child. The facts are that a life was taken from a defenseless baby. This happened while in the care of her parents. How on earth can anyone even Jason's own parents defend his actions. No one needs to say that you don't abuse a 1 month old I don't care if he lost control or if he is otherwise a good person. His chosen actions cost his daughter her life and if he has any compassion at all he will honor his daughter and admit to what he has done. I hope the guilt he feels everyday eats him alive. To his beautiful daughter rest in peace sweet baby girl you are safe now.

I find it amusing how I am accused of being a friend or relative and of defending someone sinmply because I point out your rush to judgement. Your line of thinking would have thrown away the key on Richard Jewell. Something doesn't smell right about this case, nobody dumps baby bathwater outside anymore, and I suspect there's more to this story than we are being told right now. I for one will be waiting to see how this all plays out before judging anybody. They would have loved some of you people during the Salem witch trials.

And as far as your so-called confession...he DENIED...MAY HAVE been too rough...NOT a confession. As soneone who deals in details like these on a daily basis, I can assure you, this is not considered a confession, and anyone bringing this to a judge would be laughed out of the courtroom.

CodeOfHarry:
While I agree with you that the evidence is circumstantial, I find it problematic that you suggest that we not form opinions until we hear the facts. Sometimes, all the facts of a casse are never known. Many criminals have been convicted based on circumstantial evidence alone. Also, to form opinions and judge people by their actions is human. If we knew the facts to every case, there would be no jury trials since there would be no need for "judgement".

CodeOfHarry: Doctors said Naomi died from serious head injuries as a result of shaken baby syndrome and Jason did say that he shook the baby. Whether intentional or not his actions on that day caused baby Naomi's death. The only thing now is for a jury to decide on whether or not it was intentional (I believe it was) and judging by what the majority of the people in here are saying, I can almost guarantee that a jury would find him guilty.

It doesn't take a genius to find there is enough evidence, after a preliminary hearing, to continue with murder charges. Great job Judge Kennedy!!
.
Walworth County Judge Robert Kennedy found enough evidence Tuesday after a preliminary hearing to continue the murder case against Jason H. Andritsch.

Andritsch, 25, of 2178 Clark St., No. 7, East Troy, will have an arraignment on Dec. 20.

First of all, if you people knew anything about the law, you'd have sense to know that all the evidence mentioned in the news report is circumstantial at best. The fact is (deny this all you want) there is no confession. Had he confessed, the story would have mentioned it. Saying you may or may not have done something is not a confession...sorry you would-be executioners. Seriously, you need to learn the difference between a criminal complaint and undisputed facts. You're assuming these are facts in the case when they aren't. It doesn't take a genius to jump to conclusions with half the facts. Why don't you save your comments for when the facts come out, and THEN form an opinion? Or would that be too logical?

This is not the first time this kind of tragedy has happened in janesville and sadly it won't be the last. The worst part is that I remember some years ago when another baby was killed in a similar way and the father got NO time in jail. that happens more often than we would like to admit. Those precious little lives aren't worth as much to our court systems as a long life. Wait and see...this guy will probably get off with no jail time. The baby had broken ribs for heaven sake! It wasn't just shaken baby syndrome. It was abuse that had gone on since she was born. She suffered but was to tiny to let anyone know. Yes, he will get what he deserves but maybe not until the next life.

This is so sad. I have a 9 week old son a 3 year old son and an 18 year old stepson. I could never ever imagine doing something like this. Everyone who reads this should go home and hug your children no matter how old they are.

Mikki I was correct his prelim is at 3pm on Tuesday 12-4-07. The person who emailed me to say I had my dates wrong, was actually wrong.

Does anybody know what happened in court?

He is a sorry excuse for a human being!! God, what kind of a human being could do this to a precious baby, I could not even imagine hurting my childre!! What a jerk, I hope when he goes to prison, all the inmates shake him to death!! God bless that little angel, and my thoughts and prayers are with her family!!!

Saying that you didn't intend to harm the child but rather may have gotten "too rough" is what's known as a RATIONALIZATION and it is defensive mechanism we all use to minimize the impact of our behavior in our own minds. Unless you're a monster without a conscience and you know it living with the knowledge that you've killed a child can be a devastating thing mentally.

Actually his prelim is today at 3pm. I am corrected.

SwiftKarma please tell us what is the real deal?? These are quotes from Jason himself.

Andritsch denied intentionally harming Naomi, but did admit that he may have injured her by being “too rough,” according to the complaint.

Andritsch said he shook Naomi, but claimed it was after she became lifeless, according to the complaint. He also said her head might have struck something in the bedroom as he was running to the bathroom with her. I bet he was angry she started to deficate, after just having a bath, and he shook her in anger because of it.

SwiftKarma writes: It makes me feel pretty sick to live in a community where people can so quickly judge someone who was nothing but nice to everyone, who would bend over backwards for a complete stranger, just to make them smile. I just hope when the truth comes out, those who have judged will learn to keep their mouths shut.

Two things...nice doesn't mean anything. I am betting you don't know him as well as you think you do. You will realy understand what karma means when he gets his "karma." It starts tomorrow at 3pm.

Mymaro: They're either blind, just plain stupid or they personally know Jason H. Andritsch and are in a pathetic state of denial.

Mymaro: Well said.

CodeOfHarry: Once again, I am not a man hater. The ex-boyfriend I referred to was from 11 years ago. I have been married twice since then and neither one was or is abusive. I do not hate men. I hate people (cowards) who hurt and/or kill innocent babies and children who cannot defend themselves.

You said "The fact that the baby sustained these terrible injuries is not proof as to who did this". Well, CodeOfHarry, the fact that he admitted causing the injuries is proof enough for me as to who did this. You don't have to be a frickin genious or detective to figure it out! As I stated before, and will again and again as long as you keep removing my comments, you obviously didn't read the article thoroughly! I hope this "person" gets what is coming to them (over and over and over again)!

This is a very sad case! It is hard to take a side in such a terrible situation, but I personally feel for that baby girl who is in heaven. At least, no one can hurt her there!

Pandow77, your man-hating has clearly taken over your reason here. The facts do not tell everything that happened. The fact is he has been CHARGED is not a CONVICTION. The fact that the baby sustained these terrible injuries is not proof as to who did this. You might do better to learn the distinction, rather than condemning this man for the mistakes your ex made. Further more, there is no confession, or any other concrete proof offered to show that it was even the father who did this. The only thing that IS proved here is that you are very good at finger pointing and making baseless accusations before the facts are known.

You don't have to personally know him to make a judgement on this one. He killed his baby girl! He or anyone else can make excuses all they want but the facts in the case say it all... "During the autopsy, doctors determined Naomi also had rib fractures that were healing. The fractures were a week to two weeks old, according to the complaint. Doctors said Naomi died from serious head injuries as a result of shaken baby syndrome, according to the complaint. She had also sustained new rib fractures, retinal hemorrhaging, bleeding in the brain and bruises on her face and hand." I really don't give a damn about how nice he is to everyone. It is very common for an abuser to appear very friendly and even charming to outside people. An ex of mine was exactly the same way. He was very charming and nice when he was around other people and never showed his temper. He'd wait till no one was around and then he'd change into this completely different person.

First off, how dare any of you judge Jason. Do any of you personally know Jason or of his family? No? Didn't think so. Don't judge what you don't know. It's easy to judge when you know nothing of the real deal. It's horrific the things people say based off of lies. It makes me feel pretty sick to live in a community where people can so quickly judge someone who was nothing but nice to everyone, who would bend over backwards for a complete stranger, just to make them smile. I just hope when the truth comes out, those who have judged will learn to keep their mouths shut.

Come on, he made a mistake. Its not like he was out drunk driving and killed somebody!
My point is, why do some peoples standards for Krystal and her drunk driving murder (she made a mistake) differ from what this guy did? Whats the difference? Dead is dead and I don't care who you are. Personally, I think both Jason and Krystal should go away for a long long time.

This is awful. I don't understand how anyone could do such a thing. I've heard alot of these kinds of stories lately and its sickening. He should be sentenced to life in prison. I personally think he should be castrated first. If anyone ever did that to my baby prison(male bonding)would be the least of his worries. I don't even care what his criminal history is. Whether he has been in trouble with the law before or whether he is an outstanding member of his community, he should be in jail behind bars or put to death slowly and painfully.

Horrific news, very sad! I was just wondering how could this mother "not" know this was happening if she was around the baby all/most of the time (the baby had brusing). I saw this man around (I always wondered if he was controlling/abusive)Obviously the baby was crying from the previous incident; she was hurting! Baby Girl is in the best place now!

When are we going to realize we have to do something about all the people who are abusing children. When are we going to address teen pregnacy and the pressures they have when they get into this situation. When are we going to have classes addressed to this problem in the schools. Like parenting classes...not just for the teens but for everyone make it part of the health classes to help educate all who may find thereselves in this situation. Have the baby dolls that they can take home and they must treat it as if it was a real baby for 1 month and they are graded on that to pass the class. Every movement is monitored and recorded. Split the time up between the make believe father and mother teach both the responsibility of raising baby. We can no longer sit back and allow this to continue. We have to try something

This is a very, very sad article. I wish more people wanted to post on this blog and that more people were up in arms about yet another child hurt.

My heart goes out to the family.

Shaken Baby Syndrome was not even recognized until the 1970s. While punishment of offenders is important, prevention is even more important. Most parents would never answer that they would shake a baby. It is hard to say how often there is intent to permanently injure or kill an infant, although there can be other indications of a history of abuse. Primarily it seems to happen when parents are excessively stressed and don't have coping mechanisms for dealing with periods of extended crying.

If that baby was being abused and was headed for a life of abuse, God bless her little soul. She is now in a much better place than this world.

All it takes is a moment for mom to turn her back, which is truly sad. 15 yrs ago, my then-husband abused my then-6wk old daughter when I went to get diapers since he was "too tired" and she was asleep. Nothing I can say or do would ease the guilt that will follow Naomi's mother for the rest of her life. Nothing will take away the "if onlys, would'ves & should'ves" she is more than likely dealing with now. For whatever reason, Naomi's father snapped. Not only creating one victim, but two - one who must suffer in silence. One who must be questioned and treated (for however short of time) as if it was THEIR fault. And there will be some in our sick society who will continue to victimize and blame her for "not protecting her". It's crap. I was fortunate in my situation, and for that I am eternally grateful. While tragic and sad, I can feel for the mother in this situation, and hope that she can find the inner-strength to hold her head high and find her way through the sea of pain and confusion and loss.

This is probably the saddest thing I've ever read. Her life had barely begun, and to think that it was taken away from the very person who gave her life.

No sweet 16, no girl nights with her friends, no high school crush, no college...and no father walking her down the aisle. Life is so precious, and everyone deserves a chance at life. I hope this man gets what he deserves.

If this allegation is true I hope he is convicted and his fellow inmates make his life a miserable hell for as long as it lasts.

This has got to be one of the saddest things I have ever read in my entire life. As was stated in the article---she was so young. And what could she have done to condone this? There is nothing a baby could ever do that would make any of this ok. It's not like the mother was gone for hours and the father was stressed. Dear God...what is wrong with some people? If the baby is crying and he/she has been fed and changed, put him/her in the crib and walk away....dont hurt a precious gift from God. No matter how much time this father spends in prison, he will have to deal with this on his own. Every time he closes his eyes or hears a baby cry...he will have to remember what he did to his own child. May little Naomi rest in peace and may God grant the family with the ability to deal with this tragic loss.
