SCRANTON (AP) — Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty for a northeastern Pennsylvania man charged in the death of his girlfriend’s 3-year-old daughter.
Darak (dah-RAHK’) Williams is charged with first-degree murder in the February 2008 death of Kavannah Salvador. The girl was taken to a Scranton hospital with a fractured skill and other injuries. Authorities say the toddler had been beaten for months.
At a court appearance Monday, Williams told a judge he’s “100 percent innocent”
The girl’s mother, Kashema (kah-SHEE’-mah) Reddish, is charged with third-degree murder.
The couple fled after the girl’s death, but were captured a month later in Buffalo, N.Y., following a tip from a viewer of the television show “America’s Most Wanted.”
