Bigsby back in court on child neglect charges months after murder conviction

HAMPTON, Va. – Cory Bigsby, the Hampton man currently serving a 45-year prison sentence for the murder of his son Codi, is expected to appear in court Monday morning.

In March of this year, a jury found Bigsby guilty of second-degree murder and concealing a body in connection with Codi’s death. He was sentenced in June to 40 years for murder and five years for concealing a body.
