Father, 20, charged with manslaughter in Hawai‘i Island infant death
A 20-year-old Big Island man is jailed and facing a manslaughter charge after his 3-month-old son died in late October.
- Joshua Powell is accused of fatally harming his infant son on October 25.
- Court documents say Powell told police he got frustrated while playing a video game because the baby wouldn't stop crying.
- He allegedly shook the baby's bouncer violently, then held the infant's legs down until the baby stopped moving.
- Bail was set at $1 million.
Outlook: The case moves forward in court, where Powell will face the manslaughter charge.
