Child killer is sorry but not for murder

A US man who threw his two-year-old daughter into a creek while she was strapped into her car seat has apologised — but not for murdering the child.

Just before he was jailed for the rest of his life in prison, Arthur Morgan III apologised to the child’s mother for the deterioration of their friendship.

“I want to say I’m sorry for the deterioration of what I thought was a beautiful friendship between the two of us that blossomed into a daughter,” Morgan told Imani Benton. “For anybody that was truly affected by this, I hope we can all heal from this situation, knowing Tierra is in a better place.”

Asked to explain his actions to the judge, Morgan complained the media published photos that made him look inappropriately angry or happy.

Morgan was convicted of killing Tierra Morgan-Glover by throwing her into a creek, strapped into a car seat and weighed down by a tyre jack.
