He was ordered held without bond during a court appearance Tuesday as his lawyer said his client did not commit any crime and that the boy's death was a "terrible tragedy."
O'Callaghan and his wife, Jennifer, had just adopted the boy, Hyunsu O'Callaghan, in October. The couple called him Madoc, an Irish addition to his name. Cops said he died Feb. 3, and an autopsy found that he suffered a fracture at the base of his skull, bruises to the forehead, swelling of the brain and other wounds, The Washington Post reported.
