HAYSVILLE, Kan. — A southern Kansas man has been found guilty of second-degree murder in the 2018 death of his 4-month-old daughter.
Television station KAKE reports that 36-year-old Andrew Franklin of Haysville pleaded no contest last month to the reduced charge and a single count of child abuse in the death of Brexley Grace Franklin. Andrew Franklin faces years in prison when he’s sentenced June 6. Police say the baby girl died on Sept. 13, 2018, five days after she was admitted to a hospital suffering from a skull fracture, retinal hemorrhages and bruises to her jaw.
Franklin was initially charged with first-degree murder and two counts of child abuse.
