The Associated Press is reporting that prosecutors in Jackson, Michigan have offered an Iraqi War veteran a stunning plea bargain for brutal assaults on his 3-year old daughter.

The baby was flown by helicopter to the University of Michigan Hospital last fall, where she was put on life support. According to the Jackson (MI) Citizen Patriot, pediatric surgeon Daniel Teitelbaum, MD testified in court that the child "suffered bleeding and swelling of the brain, a fractured skull, retinal bleeding, numerous bruises, 17 fractures to her legs, arms and ribs, and injuries to her private parts," after the 27-year old suspect reportedly beat and raped her. Now the AP says the defendant has pleaded guilty to "attempted child abuse," which would bring "up to five years in prison."
