A 28-year-old Salina man is scheduled to be sentenced next month after pleading no contest to charges stemming from the beating death of his girlfriend’s 14-month-old son.

Antonio M. Brown Sr. pleaded no contest Wednesday in Saline County court to first-degree murder during commission of a felony crime and two counts of child abuse in the 2011 death of 14-month-old Clayden Lee Urbanek. Doctors testified at a hearing that the child was covered in bruises at the time of his death.

A Wichita doctor also testified that the child’s case was the worst abuse she had seen.

Brown will be sentenced Feb. 12.

Clayden’s 21-year-old mother, Brittney Betzold, was sentenced Jan. 4 to about 13 years in prison for second-degree murder and child abuse.
