Action News Jax’s Deja Mayfield spoke to A’mahri’s family on Tuesday after Dodson was denied bond.
“He needs to fry. He took our life away from us. We’re hurting. That baby didn’t deserve none of that,” Virginia Dunbar, the toddler’s aunt, said.
Dodson’s next court appearance is scheduled for April 15. A GoFundMe has been created to support A’mahri’s family as they continue to grieve.
