WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — A Sedgwick County jury has recommended a Hard 50 prison sentence for a Wichita man in the abuse death of his 17-month-old daughter.

The jury made the recommendation in the case of 30-year-old Jonell Lloyd, who attacked his daughter, Chavira Brown, in July 2008 for wetting her pants. Prosecutors say he beat and choked the girl, tied her in plastic bags and left her in an attic to die.

Lloyd was sentenced by a judge in 2009 to life in prison with no parole for 50 year. He was resentenced after a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that jurors, not judges, must determine if a Hard 50 sentence is warranted.

Lloyd will be formally sentenced Dec. 17.
