On Thursday, in a Seminole County courtroom, Fidel Juarez-Avila Sr., 29, pleaded no contest to aggravated manslaughter of a child, for the death of his 14-month-old daughter Aurelia Juarez. The child was killed on June 25, 2008.

Juarez-Avila Sr. was originally charged with first-degree murder and aggravated child abuse.

During her autopsy, the coroner concluded that the toddler had been hit in the abdomen with such force, it actually split her liver in two. Bruises matching Juarez-Avila's fist were discovered all over Aurelia’s tiny body.

Assistant State Attorney Gino Feliciani said that bruising around the child’s mouth indicated that she had been smothered. She had also been beaten about the head and suffered catastrophic brain damage.

It was determined that any one of the three major injuries found, could have caused her death.

After he beat and smothered his daughter, the Mexican national took Aurelia to the hospital, she was quickly pronounced dead. He told police that the little girl had simply fallen out of bed.

Juarez-Avila Sr. was sentenced to 21 years in prison, and should be deported upon his release.
