Thomas Morgan, 29, left little Jensen-Lee Dougal with “catastrophic” brain damage at the family home in Swansea after a row with his ex-girlfriend while the baby’s mother was at work. At Swansea Crown Court on Wednesday, Judge Mary Stacey said Morgan had shaken Jensen-Lee in a violent attack that left him with extensive injuries, then lied about what happened.
