Former Major League Baseball pitcher Sergio Mitre was sentenced to 40 to 60 years in prison this week.
Per Randy Miller of NJ Advanced Media, Mitre was convicted of raping and murdering the 22-month old daughter of his then-girlfriend in July 2020.
According to Adry Torres of the Daily Mail, Mitre was formally charged by prosecutors in Coahuila, Mexico after he was originally arrested by the Coahuila Criminal Investigation Agency for possession of two small bags of marijuana.
Per Mexican news outlet El Heraldo de Saltillo (h/t Dan Lyons of Sports Illustrated), the prosecutor's office said the child "suffered abdomen and back injuries, as well as a ruptured artery which led to internal bleeding, in the attack" by Mitre.
