City of South Fulton Police Department Re: Curtis Jack
Defendant Sentenced to 50 Years in Baby Antifreeze Poisoning Case
On October 1, 2020, Mr. Curtis Jack picked up bottles of breastmilk from the mother of his child, who was hospitalized after giving birth to their daughter on September 24, 2020. The woman and Jack, both employees at a company, had been in an intimate relationship since January 2020. Curtis Jack had previously insisted that the woman terminate her pregnancy.
After delivering the breastmilk to the child’s grandmother, who was also caring for the woman’s other daughter, the child became critically ill within 24 hours, suspected of being poisoned. Curtis Jack admitted to adding antifreeze to the breastmilk to South Fulton Police Department detectives.
During the trial, the State presented testimonies from the child’s mother, grandmother, law enforcement officers, and medical experts, including a demonstration of how easy it was to poison the breastmilk.
The jury found Curtis Jack guilty on all counts, and he was sentenced to 50 years, with 40 years to serve in custody.
