FREEHOLD, N.J. - The lawyer for a man charged with killing his 2-year-old daughter by tossing her into a creek while still strapped into her car seat said Wednesday the real question for the jury is not whether he did it, but whether he was thinking clearly that night.
Arthur Morgan III of Eatontown is accused of weighing down the seat with a tire-changing jack so it would sink. He is charged with killing his daughter, Tierra Morgan-Glover, in what prosecutors claim was a premeditated, jealous rage because the girl’s mother would not get back together with him.
The child’s body was found partially submerged in a creek at a Jersey Shore park on Nov. 22, 2011, one tiny black and purple sneaker sticking out of the water.
In his opening statement, defense attorney Ryan Moriarty told the jurors their task is to decide “what form of homicide applies to this defendant.
