Newport News boy, 5, was unresponsive and ‘covered in bruises’ before his death, affidavits say

The child’s mother, Katrina Marie Sudberry, 27, initially told police that she alone disciplined the 5-year-old, court documents said.

Now, her live-in boyfriend, Gregory Glenn Martin, 30, is also facing second-degree murder and child abuse charges. They both face up to 50 years behind bars if convicted.

Many of the bruises “had linear patterns consistent with a belt and belt buckle,” while other injuries appeared to be inflicted by a hand. A belt and a detached buckle were collected at the scene.

Concrete patio repair advice

I’d like to extend the lifespan and/or improve the aesthetic of my back patio. Replacing it outright with a fresh slab is of the question right now.

Is it worth DIY repairing the cracks and sealing? Would it be worth hiring a professional (if they even do such a job)?

Or would it likely be a waste of money? It seems stable but it’s got some deep, long cracks with weeds growing through that I have a hard time managing and the slab is maybe only 3 inches thick.

Has your health affected your drumming? How have you responded?

My drumming stamina has declined in my mid 40s. I used to be able to play a 3 hour outdoor gig in 90 degree heat, set up and tear down and drive 3 hours round trip no problem.

Today I played for an hour at home and felt exhausted. I feel discouraged.

Now it takes me a full day to recover. I know I need to restart my gym routine. Aside from that obvious, what have you 30 and 40 plus year old drummers been doing to stay happy and healthy?
