Child murderer Arthur Morgan III, accused and convicted of tossing his 2-year-old daughter off a bridge into a creek leaving her there to die, will now spend the rest of his life behind bars.

Arthur Morgan III sentenced

On Wednesday Monmouth County Superior Court Judge Anthony J. Mellaci Jr. imposed a life sentence without parole to 29-year-old Arthur Morgan III, for the murder of his 2-year-old daughter Tierra Morgan-Glover.

Morgan was convicted of murder last month in the death of Tierra Morgan-Glover, whose body was pulled from a river in a park in Neptune, NJ in November 2011.

State law mandated that Mellaci impose a sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole on Morgan for the murder of Tierra because she was a child, a factor that that would have qualified Morgan for execution before New Jersey abolished the death penalty in 2007.

Speaking to Morgan, Mellaci said if New Jersey still had the death penalty, “you would be candidate No. 1.”
