A callous New Jersey father was sentenced to life in prison Wednesday for killing his 2-year-old daughter by throwing her into a creek while she was strapped in a car seat.
Arthur Morgan III was slammed by the judge, who said the killer dad would be the No. 1 candidate for the death penalty if the state had capital punishment.
“This child was alive when she was placed in the water in pitch darkness, and had to suffer the unthinkable,” Judge Anthony Mellaci Jr. said. “This child suffered before she died.”
Morgan bizarrely claimed he shouldn’t be punished severely because he was a great dad — until he threw little Tierra into the creek in Wall Township.
“As a father, my job was to provide and protect,” he said. “All my actions prior to this were to make sure Tierra was safe and [my wife] Imani was comfortable.”
