Seaford Father Gets Life Sentence for Infant's Death

A Seaford man has been sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole for the abuse death of his infant daughter.

Jason R. Gallaway maintained his innocence in Superior Court on Friday. He was convicted last month of first-degree murder by abuse.

Prosecutors said that in December 2010, the 32-year-old man beat his 3-month-old daughter, Marissa, when her crying interurrupted his video game. Officers found the infant lying unresponsive on a coffee table, with no pulse. Mariassa, who sustained multiple skull fractures and massive head trauama, died at A.I. DuPont Children's Hospital in Wilmington.

Gallaway's wife asked the judge for a less harsh sentence, saying her whole family is gone now
