Description

Charles Rhodes was convicted, after a bench trial, of assault in the first degree, AS 11.41.200(a) (3). The incident for which Rhodes was indicted involved his six-week old daughter Amanda. Amanda suffered a skull fracture while in Rhodes care. On March 8, 1984, Rhodes wife, Deborah, went to work leaving Rhodes in sole care of Amanda. Amanda was fussy due to a cold and a feverish reaction to a shot she received the previous day. Deborah was concerned about Amanda so she called him several times; during the calls she could hear Amanda crying in the backgrounds. Rhodes was apparently attempting to calm Amanda by feeding her, changing her, and walking with her. At approximately 8:00 p.m. Deborah again called home. She could hear the baby crying loudly in the background. in response to her probing about the babys health, Rhodes told her that the babys head was swollen.
