MEDFORD, Ore. (AP) — A Medford, Ore., man accused of beating his toddler stepson has now been charged with attempted murder.
The Medford Mail Tribune reports (http://bit.ly/JaDhdX) that a grand jury recently added that count to charges facing 27-year-old Matthew Karl Hyrup.
The man pleaded not guilty last month to three charges including first-degree assault and first-degree sodomy.
Prosecutor Terry Smith-Norton says the attempted murder count and a second sodomy charge were added as the case continued to unfold.
