Dennis Kahlil Miller, 21, a Philadelphia native who had been in Ambridge for about a month at the time of the July 29, 2009, incident, was found guilty Wednesday of aggravated assault, endangering the welfare of a child, reckless endanger- ment and simple assault. A sen- tencing date was not yet been set. During court testimony, authorities described the injuries at the time to Damir Miller, now 4, as a swollen brain, broken nose, fat lip and cuts and bruises on nearly every part of his body. Doctors said the young- ster developed a seizure disor- der and will require long-term treatment. The boy lives with his mother, Asa Davis, in Philadel- phia. When Ambridge police were called to 300 Fourth Ave., Apart- ment 404, to assist the boy, who was foaming at the mouth and unconscious, officers said Miller initially tried to blame Davis. Miller told police he had recent- ly returned from Philadelphia with his son, who had been on a weekend visit with his mother. But police learned Davis had been in a hospital after undergo- ing emergency gall bladder sur- gery at the time. When confront- ed, Miller admitted to “whip- ping” his son, but denied caus- ing any other injuries, according to court documents. Police were able to match many of the injuries with Miller’s belt. Officials testified they believe Miller also violently shook the boy. Patrick O’Shea can be reached online at po’[email protected].
