Terence Potts, 40, is charged with murder, allegedly for beatings that left the child severely bruised and injured. Jonathon Potts died March 25. Terence Potts told police he spanked his son the night before. Johnson told police Terence Potts spanked Jonathon because he didn’t come home the night before.
