CINCINNATI, Ohio – A Westwood man charged last year with knocking out his 1-year-old’s teeth was acquitted Wednesday by a Hamilton County jury.

The jury, before Visiting Common Pleas Court Judge Thomas Nurre, found Jasmin Standifer, 24, not guilty.

Standifer was arrested following a June 2, 2009, incident where he was accused of forcing his daughter to drink milk from a sippy cup.

He then was accused of hitting her in the mouth as she drank from the cup, knocking out her teeth and causing her to be hospitalized. He was charged with child endangering that carried a maximum prison sentence of eight years.
