A Travis County jury on Friday sentenced to 15 years in prison a man who had been accused of throwing, spanking and breaking the leg of a 2-year-old boy earlier this year, prosecutor Jackie Wood said.

The jury had previously found Michael Ord, 25, guilty of injury to a child.

The child suffered a broken femur, multiple bruises and a bloody nose while with Ord on March 4, a police affidavit said.

During the sentencing phase of the trial in state District Judge Brenda Kennedy’s court Friday, Ord said he alone is accountable for the child’s injuries and told the jury he wants to have children of his own one day.

Earlier, a man who cared for the injured boy for several weeks after he got out of the hospital told the jury that the boy was extremely withdrawn, would not eat at a table and woke up at night belting out shrill, primal screams.

Ord has been to prison before, for crimes including burglary and theft.

I predict he will be back out within 3 years.
