SAVANNAH, Ga. (WSAV) – Day four of the Leilani Simon murder trial is set to get underway.
Simon is accused of killing her 20-month-old son, Quinton. She allegedly beat him to death and threw away his body in a dumpster. Police later found his body in a landfill.
A key witness in the case took the stand on day three — Danny Youngkin, Leilani Simon’s ex-boyfriend.
The court took a recess for the day before the defense cross-examined him. Youngkin is expected back on the stand to start day four.
