Men enter pleas in separate murder cases involving infant, woman
A 24-year-old man who beat his infant son to death pleaded guilty Thursday in Lucas County Common Pleas Court to a single murder charge and received a lifetime prison sentence with parole eligibility after 15 years. Lawrence Lambert, of the 100 block of 17th Street, shook his head quietly when Judge Dean Mandros asked him if he had anything to say before sentencing, after which the judge said that all the law can do is hold Lambert accountable for what he had done. “You wouldn’t do to an animal what happened to that child,” Judge Mandros said before handing down the statutory sentence. Lambert was one of two 24-year-old men who made negotiated pleas to separate murders Thursday in the county courthouse. Earlier in the day, Andre Overton pleaded no contest to a murder charge, with a gun specification, for the Dec. 19, 2020, shooting death of Deneajia Smith at her home in the 1200 block of Mason Street.
