Xavier Darren Whitaker has been declared innocent and is now a free man, as he has been cleared of the murder charges involving his infant son, Xavier Whitaker Jr. This long-standing legal dispute, which spanned several years, accused Whitaker of causing the fatal injuries to his son in 2020. The jury’s decision on November 21st finally brings an end to this harrowing ordeal.
