KIOWA, Colo. (AP) - A 27-year-old man has been sentenced to 26 years in jail for the death of a 5-month-old Elizabeth girl who died after suffering massive brain injuries.

Richard Dolin pleaded guilty to child abuse resulting in serious bodily injury.

Marlayna Dolin, who was 4-months-old, was hospitalized in March 2012 after authorities were called to the Dolin’s home on a report of a baby having seizures.



According to KMGH-TV (https://tinyurl.com/le3ee82 ), Dolin’s attorney said he left the girl alone on a couch and she fell on a concrete floor.
