A 32-year-old father in Kentucky will spend decades behind bars for killing his newborn son, fatally punching the infant’s head in a fit of rage after losing a video game.

A Jefferson Circuit Court judge on Thursday ordered Anthony Trice to serve 20 years in a state correctional facility for the brutal 2019 slaying of young De’Anthony Trice, records reviewed by Law&Crime show.

Trice, who was initially charged with one count each of domestic violence murder and first-degree child abuse, in November reached a deal with prosecutors and agreed to enter an Alford plea to one count of first-degree manslaughter. In exchange for his plea, prosecutors dropped the remaining charges.
