Judge rejects appeal of Austin man convicted of injuring infant

The Minnesota Court of Appeals denied an Austin man’s request to reverse his conviction and allow him to withdraw his guilty plea in a 2018 assault case that left an 8 week old infant severely injured. Nathaniel Ambrose, 26, was sentenced to 7 years in prison. In his appeal he argued that the state failed to establish enough evidence to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that he caused the baby’s injuries. On Monday, the Minnesota Court of Appeals ruled that there was sufficient evidence to support the conviction.
