Arthur Davies – the man found guilty on charges related to the death of one year-old Parker Schumacher has been sentenced to 25 years to life.
Arthur Davies, 41, was found guilty on counts of involuntary manslaughter and assault on a child causing death on November 20. It was the second trial for Davies after a 2023 trial ended in a not-guilty verdict for the charge of murder, and a mistrial on the felony assault on a child causing death.
A sentencing hearing scheduled for Friday (December 20) was delayed over juror conduct.
For the charge of involuntary manslaughter the court imposed the upper term sentence of 4 years. For the second count of Assault of a Child Casuing Death, Davies is sentenced to 25 years to life, with parole eligibility. He also received credit for time served plus an additional credit for conduct, reducing his sentence by 2893 days, or a little over 8 years. Davies has been in custody since February of 2018 when he was arrested as the primary suspect in the toddler’s death.
Arthur Davies has been remanded to the custody of the Sheriff’s department to be delivered to the California Department of Corrections for Men in Chino, California.
