A Marion County man has been charged with murder in the death of his infant son, two years after the child's death was ruled a homicide. James Westervelt, 36, was already in jail for child abuse following the death of his 6-month-old son in August 2024. Marion County deputies were called to a home that month for an unresponsive infant. The child was taken to the hospital, placed on life support, and died days later.
