previously admitted the offence<\/a> on 15 January 2025, left his daughter with a fractured skull, bleeding on the brain, extensive cuts and bruising.<\/p>\nOn Monday, Swansea Crown Court heard Jamieson, known as Rhys, “snapped” before attacking his daughter.<\/p>\n
She will need lifelong care and support.<\/p>\n
In a victim impact statement, the baby’s mother, who also cannot be named for legal reasons, said: “You’re nothing but a spiteful, disgusting person.<\/p>\n
“The impact on my child will last for the rest of my life.<\/p>\n
“I’ll never understand what you were thinking. It doesn’t matter how long you’ll get because it will never be enough.”<\/p>\n
Despite making an application to vacate his plea last year, permission was refused by Judge Paul Thomas KC.<\/p>\n
He called Jamieson, who did not attend court for sentencing, “a coward” who was “consumed by self-pity”.<\/p>\n
“You threw the baby with great force at the television. It was a fit of uncontrolled temper.<\/p>\n
“You did not even bother to check whether the baby was alive. It was an act of the most horrendous callousness and self-interest.<\/p>\n
“The child has irreversible brain damage. You have no remorse, no regret, for what you did.”<\/p>\n
Carl Harris, of children’s charity NSPCC Cymru, said it was a “truly shocking case of cruelty and violence inflicted on a baby by her father” who was “the very person who should have been protecting her from harm”. <\/p>\n
“Because of Jamieson’s brutal attack, his daughter will require care and support for the rest of her life,” he said.<\/p>\n
Jamieson will have to serve two-thirds of his sentence before being eligible to be released.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Warning: This article contains details that some may find distressing, including details of severe injuries.
