Baby Jordan had his tiny toes crushed one by one, was hit so hard his bottom teeth went through the roof of his mouth, and was subjected to repeated punches to the stomach.
The seven-month-old's torture and suffering ended only when he choked to death on his own vomit.
Yesterday the man responsible for the brutal killing of the baby boy was sentenced to a minimum term of just eight years and three months. With time already served, Christopher Hoerler could be free in January 2010, at the age of 32.
Hoerler, 26, repeatedly denied involvement in the gruesome killing, but in July, at the end of the Crown case in his murder trial, decided to plead guilty to the lesser charge of manslaughter.
Even then, he would not accept full responsibility for the heinous attack – he told a psychiatrist that Jordan's mother, Louise Anderson, asked him to hit the child twice because he was crying.
When the time comes and you feel that you should be kind of merciful, just remember things like this. No Mercy. Man, Woman, Child. None of them.
