Adelaide father to stand trial for allegedly throwing baby into wall An Adelaide father will stand trial on charges of criminal neglect and aggravated causing harm after pleading not guilty to allegations he threw his three-month-old baby into a wall. The incident, which allegedly occurred earlier this year, left the infant with life-threatening injuries. The man, whose identity has been suppressed by the court, appeared in the Adelaide Magistrates Court on Tuesday to formally enter his pleas. "He maintains his innocence," stated the father's lawyer, declining further comment. Police allege the father threw the baby into a wall, resulting in serious injuries requiring extensive medical treatment. The prosecution will present evidence to support these claims during the upcoming trial. The father, a father of five, faces a significant prison sentence if convicted. The trial date is yet to be set. The case highlights the ongoing issue of child abuse and the importance of protecting vulnerable children. The community awaits the outcome of the trial with bated breath.
