A former assistant dean for Lone Star College in Texas has been arrested and charged in the murder of his 6-month-old son — but his attorney has raised questions about the timing and nature of the child’s numerous injuries.

Court records reviewed by Law&Crime on Tuesday show Houstonian Emmit Eugene Carter, 38, was arrested on Aug. 16 and charged with murder after police said he struck his infant son “with a blunt object” and “against a blunt object” in July 2023.

A criminal complaint also alleges Carter shook the child — identified only as M.C. in records — very hard with his hands.
