The grandfather accused of dropping his 18-month-old granddaughter from the 11th deck of a cruise ship docked in Puerto Rico is accepting a plea deal.
Anello, however, agreed to change his plea to guilty to put the matter to rest, attorney Michael Winkleman said.Chloe Wiegand, 18 months, from South Bend, Ind., is pictured in an undated family photo.
Chloe, who was traveling with her parents from their home in Indiana, was with her grandfather in the children's water park play area when her grandfather placed her on the wood railing, which was in front of a wall of glass windows, according to Winkleman.Winkleman said the grandfather put Chloe on the railing thinking she'd bang on the glass.
The family wants to raise awareness of the need for all common carriers to adhere to window fall prevention laws to prevent similar falls, Winkleman said.
