Ingram man pleads guilty to infant daughter's murder
By Zeke MacCormack - Express-News
KERRVILLE — An Ingram teen charged with capital murder over the death of his infant daughter has pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of murder in exchange for a 20-year prison sentence.
The plea deal struck by Jakob D. Pennington, 19, also calls for him to pay $5,519 in restitution for the Sept. 21, 2011 slaying of Sage E. Pennington, age 6 weeks, who died of a skull fracture.
The defendant, who investigators say gave inconsistent accounts about the child's injury, made no statement before being sentenced by state District Judge Rex Emerson.
