INDIO, Calif. (KESQ) - A Palm Desert man convicted of killing his year-old daughter and stabbing his pregnant wife after turning irate during a child custody exchange in Indian Wells received the death penalty.

An Indio jury in March convicted Adam Slater, 54, of Palm Desert of first-degree murder for the 2020 slaying of baby Madalyn.



That is the only article I can find. Good luck on sentencing him to death in California.....
