of a grandfather who accidentally dropped 3

his granddaughter off a cruise ship. 4

Salvatore Anello has decided to enter a guilty plea 5

to negligent homicide in the death 6

of 18-month-old Chloe Wiegand. 7

Last July, she fell from the 11th floor 8

of a Royal Caribbean's Freedom of the Seas cruise ship 9

docked in Puerto Rico. 10

The deal is that he gets no jail time. 11

That he serves a period of probation. 12

That he's able to serve the probation 13

in Indiana, at home, as opposed to doing it in Puerto Rico. 14

It's been a heartbreaking saga. 15

Anello claimed that he held Chloe 16

up to a window to bang on the glass, 17

not realizing that the window was open. 18

She slipped out of his hands. 19

This is surveillance video showing Anello 20

walking toward the window with little Chloe. 21

You see him lift her over the rail. 22

The next moment, she is gone. 23

The family's not doing well. 24

You know, this was such a terrible tragedy 25

from moment one and the gravity of it 26

I think was only compounded by the fact 27

that these charges were brought against him. 28

In a statement explaining 29

his guilty plea, Anello says, 30

"I wasn't drinking and I wasn't dangling her 31

"out of a window." 32

"I just wanted to knock on the glass with her 33

"as we did together so many times before. 34

"I was just so horribly wrong about our surroundings." 35
