Minneapolis man gets six months in jail for boy burnung

In sentencing a Minneapolis man Wednesday for beating and burning a boy who hid in an oven to escape, Hennepin County Judge Robert Small talked about how badly it hurt when he accidentally brushed his arm against a hot grill at home this week, scalding his forearm and hand. "The first thing I thought of was the pain that child felt," Small said to William T. Hurley, 23, of Minneapolis. The judge sentenced Hurley to six months in the workhouse. He will be allowed out during the day to attend school and receive credit for 41 days already serve. Small also placed conditions on Hurley's release that involve parenting and anger management classes as well as therapy. The judge has required Hurley to stay in school or secure work.
