Man jailed for mocking dying toddler David Mamo

AN Adelaide man who cruelly mocked dying toddler David Mamo has been jailed for more than 11 years - but no one will ever face justice for the boy's murder. 

David John Partridge, 30, taunted the three-year old as he lay dying from massive internal injuries caused by repeated kicks or punches in February 2006.

Partridge and the toddler's mother Melissa Joanne Field were both originally charged with murder - but a lack of evidence meant both would plead guilty to the lesser offence of criminal neglect.
