LONG VIEW, NC (WBTV)- William Howard Lial III appeared in Catawba County court and grimaced as a judge spoke about the charges against him.

A judge told Lial he could face the death penalty or life in prison.

Lial is accused of killing 20 month old Jaydon Sandlin and injuring Jaydon's 3 year old sister Kylie.

Arrest warrants for Lail were released Monday. The warrants state that officers said there was probable cause to believe Lail "unlawfully, willfully and feloniously did intentionally inflict serious physical injury, scalding burns to the buttocks and back of both legs," of the one-year-old child.

The warrants state the 3-year-old girl had scalding burns on her head, shoulders, legs and feet. 

There is a small memorial outside the Long View home where Lail was watching the two kids for his girlfriend.

"The potential to save money and energy – and even earn extra cash – can be found in recycling outdated, secondary refrigerators and freezers that are in working condition located throughout your home," said John Langston, program manager for Duke Energy's appliance recycling program.

Unplugging and properly disposing of these energy-hogging dinosaurs through recycling can save money, reduce energy demand and environmental impact, and possibly delay the need for Duke Energy to build new power plants:
