Connecticut father convicted of throwing infant off bridge testifies in civil suit against child welfare agency

Summary

Tony Moreno, convicted of murdering his 7-month-old son Aaden by throwing him off the Arrigoni Bridge in 2015, testified in a civil wrongful death lawsuit against Connecticut's child welfare agency (DCF). During his testimony, Moreno denied intentionally killing his son and blasted his murder conviction as "a joke." The lawsuit alleges DCF failed to protect the infant despite warnings, never sought emergency custody, and never met Moreno face-to-face before the baby's death. Moreno is currently serving 70 years in prison.
