Meanwhile, Assistant State Attorney Alan Mizrahi submitted a March 3 notice of intent to seek a prison sentence"above the statutory guidelines" for the boy's death, according to court files.
His notice says considerations would include multiple aggravating factors such as the"crime was committed in a heinous, atrocious and cruel manner." The notice adds that there must be proof the victim's remains"were grossly abused" and that the crime was committed to a child who was under the"custodial authority" of the suspect.
Investigators did find bloody smears at the trash bin site, plus a red flannel shirt with what appeared to be bloodstains, police said. They found a large plastic bag with a blood-soaked mattress topper and two knives. Police also recovered what appeared to be hair, bone and tissue that had stuck to the mattress topper.
Why did it take so long
