DOWNEY (CBS) — A South Gate man who allegedly beat his 9-month-old daughter to death last month pleaded not guilty Tuesday to murder and other charges.

Jose Tulio Deras, 20, is charged with one count each of murder and assault on a child causing death for the Jan. 15 slaying of his daughter, Valerie.

In connection with an alleged assault on his wife, Deras is charged with one count of sodomy by use of force, with allegations that he used a knife and tied and bound his wife before he fled to Mexico.

Deras was detained Jan. 17 in Mexico City and flown two days later from Mexico City to Los Angeles International Airport, where he was turned over to Customs and Border Protection officers, U.S. Marshals and Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputies.

If convicted, he could face up to 50 years to life in state prison, according to the District Attorney’s Office.

What good could this individual posibility do while alive on this earth? Execute him.

Great. Let’s feed him and keep him warm at night. For the rest of his life. While hard-working people trying to make ends meet… get stuck with the tab. Nice.

You are 100% correct about this. America needs to re-think punishment especially when it comes to the killers of children. I couldn’t agree more with your comment here.

Before I pass judgement I would like to hear what he has to say.

Are you kidding? What excuse could he possibly use that would make his actions acceptable!? Marco is it? Go figure.

Marco

I didn’t say his actions were acceptable. I said I would like to hear what he has to say. Just like you are making an inference that I am Hispanic, or Latino because my name is Marco. I happen to be a Black Man.

So your assumption supports the point I am trying to make.

duh

Butt pirated the wife at knife point, killed a completely helpless 9 mo old baby. This waste of flesh just vaulted to the top of my list of people I hope really get worked over in prison. He went far out of his way to earn it…
