Craig Crouch and Gemma Barton are on trial accused of murdering 10-month-old Jacob Crouch.
The court has been told Jacob died from a "vicious assault", which saw him "kicked or stamped on with such severe force that it fractured a rib and caused a tear in his stomach and bowel".
Mr Crouch, 39, denied lying to police when he said Jacob seemed normal in the days before he found his cold and lifeless body on the morning of 30 December. During the final day of his evidence to the court on Tuesday, he was shown footage of him "dunking" Jacob in a paddling pool, which he denied was a bid to stop him crying.Invited to comment on an image sent to him by Ms Barton in August 2020, showing a "nasty bruise" to Jacob's right ear, Mr Crouch said he was told it was the result of him "face-planting" on the floor.
Mr Crouch denied Jacob "screamed like he had never screamed before" and cried for most of the night after being injured, saying he did not remember any crying.
