Okinawa Marine Admits Killing His Daughter
Marine Sgt. Bassa Cisse admits he was responsible for the death of his 6-year-old daughter a year ago when he disciplined her in their base apartment.
But he didn’t mean to kill her, he said during a hearing Friday after pleading guilty to a lesser charge of negligent homicide.
However, the prosecution contends Cisse meant to kill his daughter and the court-martial on a charge of murder will continue Monday before a jury panel.
"The evidence supports the murder charge," chief prosecutor Maj. Gregory Palmer said after the hearing. "I think he wanted to kill her."
