WEBER COUNTY, Utah (AP) -- A Weber County man has pleaded guilty to strangling his girlfriend's 3-month-old daughter by tying a tube sock around her neck.
Trevor Thomas Grover says he couldn't get the baby to stop crying before the November 2006 death. He says he also spanked the girl, slapped her face and choked her with his hands.
Grover entered the plea as part of a deal that dropped an additional child abuse charge.
He could face life in prison, but prosecutors promised to write the Utah Board of Pardons and Parole recommending that he serve a maximum of 17 years as part of the plea agreement.
