A Cleveland father pleaded guilty Wednesday to beating and shaking his 1-month-old daughter to death and attacking her mother inside his West Side apartment in April.
Maurice Quarles, 22, agreed with prosectors to ask a judge to sentence him to life in prison with parole eligibility after 25 years, and pleaded guilty to aggravated murder, felonious assault, endangering children and domestic violence charges, records say.
In exchange for the plea, prosecutors dropped 10 additional charges including felonious assault and kidnapping.
