A 31-year-old Superior Township man accused of fracturing his baby's skull had his final pretrial hearing adjourned when he appeared in the Washtenaw County Trial Court last week.

Mark Daniels

Mark Desmon Daniels will appear in court again this week. A jury trial is set for May 18.

Daniels is charged with first- and second-degree child abuse for injuries he inflicted on his then-10-month-old baby, according to Assistant Washtenaw County Prosecutor John Vella.

In court Thursday, Vella said Daniels was throwing the child around and that the injuries caused permanent damage.

"(The baby) will never be the same again," he said.

Vella described the alleged abuse during an argument over Daniels' bond.

Judge Darlene O'Brien ruled to keep the $25,000 cash or surety bond.

Court records show the alleged abuse occurred on Oct. 17, 2014. Daniels' address in court documents is the 9000 block of MacArthur Boulevard. The case was handled by the Washtenaw County Sheriff's Office.

Police did not immediately provide requested information about the case.
