This is the weakest excuse for killing a child I've ever heard. This makes no sense at all. He's not being fully honest here.

[whitediamond]

That sheriff is doing the right thing!!! What that EVIL did to that baby was outrageous behavior. Baby girl didn't have a chance. So sad!!!! 😥

[JMB]

It doesn't make sense. Why would he risk a murder charge over a minor accident with minor injuries? I'm not buying his story. I won't be surprised if they find out he did other things to her. Either way, he's a monster if he could do that to an innocent child. I will never understand why monsters like this are given a chance to bail out no matter how high it's set. Monsters like this shouldn't be allowed on the streets for any price.

[londonice]

Wtf. All he had to do was call the police to report an honest accident!!

[leneacarter]

Something is strange about this situation on all type of levels something just not right

[Pe-S]

This horrific crime is just soul crushing. That poor little kid. Her poor surviving family. 😞💔

[justabruin]

The fact that he "tried" to break her neck is terrible to hear meaning she was in pain for moments with a failed attempt to break her neck. Ugh. Wish I could unhear that.

Death penalty should be sought for all murders. One of the most disturbing cases was the murder of Candace Newmaker it bothers me to this day.

I was a Law Enforcement Chaplain for 26 years and have helped many people deal with this type of loss. I have hugged and held many people’s hands after officiating the funeral of their precious child. If I were to tell you what I feel would be the appropriate punishment for this animal, YouTube wouldn’t post it!

[k__k]

Something's not right here. I don't know what it is but something is really off about this story.

[richardharrison]

Why would they have a bond set for this guy if he already gave a confession and the prosecution is seeking the death penalty?

[charlottelovato]

Dam I'm furious!!! If he hit her on accident then why kill her and, throw her away like garbage. He wouldn't of been in trouble if it was accidental. This is just sickining and, completely unexceptable. R.I.P. Beautiful angel. I'm so heartbroken! 🙏🙏🙏

[SouthernPsychopath]

The death penalty just doesn’t seem harsh enough for what this thing did to a innocent child.

[susanasalinas]

He's lying, If he hit her, he should of called 911, knock on door to let her family know what happened,

[garrettrobison]

how are you gonna give this guy the death penalty when u don’t give it to someone who killed 17 people in a school. smh

[georgkoenig]

He wasn't panicked, his mugshot shows no remorse. Killing her didn't bother him so it's ridiculous for him to say hitting her made him panic. He's just a soulless pos.

[judowrestlerka]

I wasn't aware that thr Sheriff could seek anything but an arrest.
Now, I HOPE THE PROSECUTION seeks the proper penalty.
Death

[chanakka]

Throw him in jail let them take care of him!

[dannyscott]

Can you really think of one reason for him to be alive .isn't this the reason we have one

The drivers in my area move so fast that the ring hardly get a image they usually have too much to deliver to hang around to abduct a child. Water board him until he tells the truth.
