Salina Man Pleads No Contest In Child's Death
Associated Press - Thu 04:30 AM 01/10/2013
Sentencing is scheduled for February 12.
A Salina man has pleaded no contest to first degree murder in the beating death of a toddler.
Twenty eight year old Antonio M. Brown Sr. pleaded no contest Wednesday in Saline County court to first degree murder during commission of a felony. Brown also pleaded no contest to two counts of child abuse in connection with the 2011 beating death of 14 month old Clayden Lee Urbanek.
Saline County District Judge Rene Young set sentencing for February 12.
The child's mother, 21 year old Brittney Betzold, was sentenced earlier this month to about 13 years in prison for second degree murder and for not intervening to stop Brown from abusing the child before his death.

I sure hope they lose his paper work and stick him in "population", no protective custody for this bum!!! For a few days anyway, long enough for the other inmates to have a go at him and let him see what it feels like to be beaten the way he did this poor innocent baby!!! He will be there long enough to find himself on the receiving end of the abuse scale!!

Once convicted should receive death penalty then walked out of the court house and immediately hung from a near by tree and then tossed into a trash dumpster.

The only thing I would add would be 6 days of beatings each becoming more severe then hang him on the 7th day.
