Dec. 29, 2022

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – The Albuquerque father who is accused of leaving his baby in a bathtub to drown and then burying the child in a backyard remotely attended a hearing Thursday. He was able to strike a plea deal.

David Zuber reportedly admitted via Zoom that his lack of parenting led to the death of his one-year-old daughter, Anastazia, back in late 2018, officially signing off on the confession he made to the public four years ago.
[.....]
On Thursday, Zuber reportedly didn't express any remorse, just telling judge Brett Loveless what the court needed to hear.

"Count one abandonment of a child resulting in death, how do you plea," said Loveless.

"Guilty," said Zuber.

Zuber, who doesn't have a sentencing date yet, faces up to 19 years. He's already in federal prison for dealing meth. Monique Romero pled guilty to child abandonment leading to death back in April; she faces up to 15 years in prison when she’s sentenced next month.


I have Romero's sentencing date of 1/25/23.
 
Docket update - still on sentencing date.
