A 34-year-old Ohio man, Michael Mayor, will spend at least more than a decade in prison after he slammed a 15-month-old girl’s head into the floor after she wouldn’t stop crying.
As reported by the Dayton Daily News, Mayor was sentenced to 15 years to life in prison on Tuesday, August 5. Back in June, he pleaded guilty to felony murder, with the additional charges of murder, endangering children, and felonious assault being dismissed as part of the plea agreement.
Miami Judge Jeannine Pratt called Mayor “pure evil,” and added that the imposed sentence was mandatory under state law. This has been a point of controversy, with the victim’s family pushing for harsher sentences for cases such as Mayor’s.
“If I had the discretion, you would be getting a much larger sentence,” Pratt told Mayor
