A 27-year-old Baltimore man was convicted yesterday of involuntary manslaughter and child abuse in the death of a 3-year-old girl.
Erik Stoddard of the 2500 block of Moore Ave. had been convicted twice before in the death Calen Faith Dirubbo, but those verdicts were overturned by a Baltimore Circuit Court judge and an appeals court.
Calen, who was the daughter of Stoddard's girlfriend, died in June 2002 as a result of multiple beatings over a period of at least a month, prosecutors said.
