19-year-old sentenced to 100-years for fatally injuring baby

A 19-year-old Iowa man has been sentenced to up to 100
years in prison for the death of his 8-month-old daughter after he pleaded
guilty to several charges.

Jayden Straight pleaded guilty Friday to
second-degree murder and several related charges as part of an agreement with
prosecutors. Straight's daughter died in July 2018 after suffering serious
internal injuries.

Prosecutors said that doctors determined the girl's injuries were the result of
a deliberate assault.

Straight received the maximum sentence for each of the six charges he pleaded
guilty to, and his sentences must be served consecutively up to 100 years total.
