«Breaking News» Jury shown photos of wet wipe 'killer nanny used to choke two-month- old to death'

Jurors in the case against Marianne Benjamin-Williams, 46 (pictured), saw photos of the wet wipe the nanny is accused of using to choke the infant son of Salomon Blutreich, 37, to death in May of 2017, in a New York City court on Thursday

Jurors in the attempted murder case against a nanny accused of choking an infant to death with a baby wipe in May of 2017 saw photos of the towelette and heard distressing testimony from the child's father on Tuesday.  

Radiologist Salomon Blutreich, 37, testified that Marianne Benjamin-Williams, 46, who is on trial for the death of his two-month-old son, first refused to answer the phone and then hung up on him as he tried to explain life-saving measures, one and half years ago on May 18.

The frantic father recalled telling Benjamin-Williams, 'Turn him over on his belly — turn him upside down and slap his back,' to which he said she replied, 'I know what the f--k I’m doing!' before she hung up on him.

During the call, Blutreich had no idea a cloth was stuffed in the boy's throat, which members of the court had to view as part of photographic evidence on Thursday.

Raymond Loving, the defense attorney for Benjamin-Williams, has argued the wipe was inadvertently lodged in Maxwell's throat, or alternatively that his 14-month-old sister Ariella put it there, the New York Daily News reported.

Prosecutors say it would have been impossible for Maxwell's sister to do that.

Benjamin-Williams had been serving as the caregiver to Blutreich's son and daughter on that day, 18 months ago.

He received a call from a family friend that something wasn't right at his home in Waterside Plaza, on the East River between Peter Cooper Village and East Bay.

Fearing the worst could happen in the time it took him to cycle home from the downtown Brooklyn hospital where he worked, Blutreich called Benjamin-Williams as he rushed home.

She didn't answer at first, he said, but when she eventually picked up, Blutreich asked, 'What’s going on?' which is when he said the nanny told him, 'she saw something white in (baby Maxwell’s) throat — that’s all she knows.'

Blutreich got a call from a family friend that somethign was wrong, so he raced home and called the nanny, and when Benjamin-Williams eventually picked up, Blutreich asked, 'What’s going on?' which is when he said the nanny told him, 'she saw something white in (baby Maxwell’s) throat — that’s all she knows.' Photos of the baby wipe which led to Maxwell's death were shown to the jury on Thursday

Knowing that 'he could either be dead or brain-dead' by the time an ambulance arrived, that's when Blutreich tried to explain to the caregiver how to do the Heimlich maneuver on his child, but was met with cursing and anger, before he said Benjamin-Williams hung up on him.

Once at the Bellevue Hospital, Blutreich said Benjamin-Williams' behavior was consistent as she wouldn't provide information to the medical personnel fighting for Maxwell's life.  

'Everyone was running around but I don’t know if anyone had any idea what to do,' he said, as doctors at that point were unable to see the wipe lodged in the baby's throat. 

Benjamin-Williams 'clammed up and wouldn’t say a word to me' Blutreich said, describing her reaction as the father tried to get more information about what had happened.

Benjamin-Williams left the hospital before finding out what Maxwell’s condition was, Blutreich said, but not before complaining that she could go to jail if the baby died on 'her watch,' and refusing to come back to work without cameras in the apartment to 'protect herself,' the father said.

'I felt that anger…I heard on the phone. It was scary and I didn’t want to get between her and the physicians to figure out what the heck was going on with him,' he said. 

Blutreich described the scene to the jury on Thursday, as Maxwell's situation grew increasingly dire.

'He looked terrible. There was blood coming out of his mouth…,' Blutreich said, of his son's appearance in the pediatric emergency room.

'He was a tiny little baby and he was completely listless and he looked like he was already dead.'

Blutreich said he thought at the time, 'Monday’s not going to be a normal day because Max was going to be dead or brain-dead, so why are we even having this conversation?'

The father is expected to take the witness stand again on Friday.

Jurors in the attempted murder case against a nanny...

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
