QUEENSBURY, N.Y. (AP) - A 24-year-old man has pleaded guilty to manslaughter and agreed to serve 25 years in state prison for killing his 3-week-old daughter by shaking and throwing her.
The Glens Falls Post-Star reports (https://bit.ly/2eoxDZk ) that Nicholas Jones wept as he entered his guilty plea Monday in Warren County Court. He admitted injuring the baby in March in the home he shared with the infant and her mother in Johnsburg.
State police said Jones admitted shaking and throwing the baby after she woke up crying. She suffered severe head injuries and died two days later at a hospital.
Court records showed the baby had multiple broken bones including some that pre-dated the fatal attack.
