Summary

Last week, I began telling you the story of 2-year-old Damian Sutton, who spent six days on life support after dying in Children’s Hospital in Detroit from a head injury incurred while in the care of a man pretending to be his mother’s boyfriend. After the man, Ronald DiMambro Jr., was convicted of Damian’s murder, a Brady violation led to Ron being granted a second trial.
In this episode, I’ll tell you the rest of Damian’s story, and you’ll also hear my interview with Damian’s maternal grandmother, Tara Thompson, who Damian called “Nana.”
This is part two of the gut-wrenching story of Damian Sutton.
