The mother of a 1-year-old boy testified yesterday against her husband, who is accused of beating the infant so badly last year that he caused irreparable brain damage.
22-year-old Sara Nerone told the jury about a pattern of abuse that included both her and the baby. She said she first saw her husband hit the baby when “Johnny” Nerone was only three weeks old, but she never told anyone about the abuse because she was afraid and ashamed. Sara and John “Rickey” Nerone are in the process of divorcing.
Rickey Nerone claims his wife was the one who abused the baby, who almost died last March 30th, when he was only nine weeks old.
Rickey Nerone is a former firefighter from Armagh who has been convicted and served prison time for arson-related crimes and thefts in Indiana County.
The jury heard the 9-1-1 tape of the emergency call that was made on the night in question, and they heard three recordings of conversations between Rickey and Sara Nerone made after Rickey’s arrest.
