A January 30th jury trial date has been set for a Yucca Valley man accused of murder in the 2018 death of his girlfriend’s one-year-old son. Arthur Thomas Davies was 38 when he was arrested for suspicion of attempted murder after his girlfriend’s son – Parker Lee Schumaker was taken to Hi-Desert Medical Center with injuries consistent with child abuse. The 1-one-year old was then flown to Loma Linda University Medical Center, where he died while on life support, resulting in the charges being changed to murder and assault resulting in the death of a child.
Davies appeared at the Joshua Tree District of the San Bernardino Superior Court yesterday during pre-trial, where the jury trial date was set.
Arthur Davies is charged with murder and assault on a child causing death, and has plead not-guilty to both charges. The trial date will be January 30th at 9am, and Z107.7 will keep you updated on this long-developing case and trial.
