MEMPHIS, TN (abc24.com) - The man accused of killing his toddler son and dumping the body in a trash bin entered a not guilty plea in court Tuesday.

It was the first time Maurice Brown, 29, faced a judge since being indicted for first degree murder.

Memphis police say Brown beat his 3-year-old son, Maurice Brown, Jr., to death last July, and then dumped the child in a downtown dumpster.

Brown is scheduled to appear in court again next month.

I hope that all his cellmates are aware of his charges. Maybe they will beat him to death and dump him in the trash.
