Summary of Offense:

On December 20, 2002, Cole was playing video games. He was interrupted by the crying of his nine-month-old daughter Brianna. He went to her crib and bent her legs backward and then flipped her over. This broke her spine and ruptured her aorta. He went back to playing video games, but eventually checked on Brianna, found her unresponsive, and called for emergency assistance. Cole had a conviction for abusing his infant son in California in 1987.

Cole has been on death row since December 28, 2004.
