A Wisconsin man pleaded guilty to charges connected to the death of a 9-month-old child in July 2022, when he volunteered to babysit for his parents.
FOX 6 in Milwaukee reported that Antoni Cirra pleaded guilty to second-degree reckless homicide and first-degree recklessly endangering safety, though an additional charge of felony bail jumping was dismissed. He is scheduled to be sentenced on March 8.
The station obtained the criminal complaint, which reportedly said a 9-month-old boy was admitted to the emergency department of Children’s Wisconsin, a pediatric care hospital in Milwaukee, on July 7, 2022.
When the child arrived, he was not breathing on his own, was unresponsive and had injuries that were “life-threatening and highly concerning for child physical abuse.”
Police said in the complaint that was the first time Cirra disclosed the fall.
After conducting an autopsy on the child, the Milwaukee Medical Examiner’s Office said the injuries are consistent with sustaining blunt force trauma to the head.
