Jury Hears Tape of Confession in Child Killing Case

A jury watched five hours of taped criminal investigation videos Monday in the court-martial of Marine Sgt. Bassa Cisse, who faces a murder charge in the death of his 6-year-old daughter.

During the afternoon viewing, Cisse sat at the defense table with his head in his hands and cried along with a scene of him breaking down during the taped interview. In the interview, Cisse confessed to beating his daughter, Massey.

"I was upset," he told the Navy Criminal Investigative Service agent. "I lost it. I wasn’t controlling myself."
