[District Attorney] – A Newhall man entered a no-contest plea Wednesday to a charge of killing his 19-day-old daughter, the Los Angeles County Angeles County District Attorney’s Office announced.
Deputy District Attorney Julie Kramer said Matthew Brendan Warner, 30, pleaded to one count of first-degree murder in case PA082876.
Warner will receive a 50-years-to-life state prison sentence at a hearing scheduled for Oct. 6 in Department S of the Los Angeles County Superior Court, San Fernando Branch.
On Jan. 23, the defendant beat the baby, Ellorah Rose Warner, to death at their Newhall home while the victim’s mother was working, the prosecutor said. Matthew Warner then hid Ellorah’s body and claimed she had been kidnapped, the prosecutor added.

Only 50????????????? wth??????
Right! Death should be the only sentence. How could he get to live and a 50 to life sentence. That was so unbelievably disgusting and herendous and to a 19 day old infant. Makes me sick to my stomach

No death penalty?
Shockingly, I’ve seen a man get less for murdering his infant son… It’s horrifying.
Disgusting
California does not have the death penalty. They did away with it July 16, 2014, because it’s “unconstitutional because it is arbitrary and plagued with delay.”
Worst you can get now is Life without Parole.
I blocked that out.
To be honest, the only reason I know is because I’m studying Criminal Justice, and we had an interesting discussion about the fact that the Mansons all got Life With Parole because Life Without didn’t exist at the time of their conviction, and thus they can’t be punished with it. =
Don’t forget this is an “über” liberal state…”baby lives don’t matter”…?
How in the hell does this have anything to do with political stances?
It’s a tragedy. Whether you’re pro-life or pro-choice or whatever other stance might exist, it doesn’t matter, all sides very likely give a damn about the fact that a scumbag brutally murdered a baby.
.-.
Shut your mouth
Truth hurts, huh, Julian Agregan. BTW are you two y/o? Someone needs a “timeout”.
Drowned baby? What about all the horrible things he did to this baby? Why is that not mentioned?
That’s because those charges are being dismissed because he’s pleading no contest to the murder charge
Unbelievable!
The DA released a correction, we just updated the story. Please click the link above to read the corrected version.
Ewwe that’s even more horrific he beat her to death omg the more we here this person is not a human being he is literally a monster a demon.
Thank you for the update!
I’ve been trying to follow this story. Been hard to find any info. Ray where did you hear that he drowned the baby?
This truly broke my heart. I live up the street and still am shocked about this.
It was in the article that SCVTV posted originally for this thread.
It makes me cry. So heavy on my heart
50 years?! What a joke. Rot in hell, scumbag.
California needs death penalty…why waste money on criminals like this? I bet people would think twice about hurting a child if the punishment was death.
I’ve been saying for years….bring back public hangings. See if you commit a crime after watching that.
You do realize that is cost more to kill with a death penalty than life in prison don’t you?
Jessica Pagan I’d gladly write the check for anyone that hurts a child. This goes beyond money for me.
Jessica Pagan not if we do it right
I couldn’t agree more!
He will die in jail
death penalty why should he live he hurt and killed his daughter
Wow! Just wow! Unbelievable! Just a monster & to his own baby! We can only hope the inmates get him good.
They updated the story from drowned to beat her to death
Thanks for the update however it still does not mention the fact that he sexually assaulted this little baby!
Matt, I hope you “slip and fall” in shower at the penitentiary!
Allegedly sexually assaulted.
Yes “allegedly”
I’m not sticking up for the guy. I just get my panties in wad when I read the self righteous judgmental things that the “everyperson” posts in regards to things like this.
I understand. I was was being sincere.
I know.
And, even if he didn’t sexually assault her I still feel pretty confident that I will be judgemental when it comes to beating and drowning a baby. That’s pretty grotesque too.
That’s human nature.
Me or him? Just kidding… Lol
I was thinking the exact same thing, like let’s not forget how he tormented the baby. It was alleged that he did horrible things to that baby. He deserves whatever sentence he gets, in my opinion. Baby wasn’t even a month old. Horrible.
That’s just evil!
He won’t live long in general population but I am also for hanging him in the middle of town and let us take care of this bastard!

50 years is to good for this sucker, drop him in the desert with the animals
At least he is pleading guilty. Save the state money for a trial. He probably won’t live long in prison.
As much as I think he deserves to rot in prison (because we all know 50 to life is not actually 50 to life), I am glad this baby’s mother did not have to through a trial. She’s been through enough and my thoughts are with her and her family.
I’m just kind of sad that she left Ellorah Rose with him knowing his history. I hope she is pulling her life back together. It can’t be easy. ?
I’m furious she still wants to talk to him and visit with him…
The only reason this scumbag isn’t getting the death penalty is because it was abolished in CA in July 2014. The system was deemed “unconstitutional because it’s arbitrary and plagued with delays.”
Worst he can get is Life Without Parole because of this.
Not bad, should be life without the possibility of parole but 50 is better than 20.
Not harsh enough for what he did to that innocent life. Disgusting monster.
Call it what it is !! Sicko baby Raper!!
Did he rape her too? Wow. I didn’t read that. My God!
Bring back public hangings! We’ve lost control, our leadership is clueless. Things were different back in the day for good reason!
Mhm, and when they do, you won’t like it because “it’s violent, my children might see it” Stfu
Look at your children are seeing now in life and on TV. Which violence would you rather see? Criminal violence or prosecution violence. One will stop the other. Guaranteed!
justice for that poor child
There is no worse crime than that against an innocent little baby or children. Just can’t even begin to imagine. Not a punishment severe enough for this animal. Just kills me to think what this precious little baby went through. It’s nothing less than demonic. How could it be any less?
I think it’s China that has the “eye for an eye” laws or used too. I think he should have done to him what he did to his baby.
Kevin Meraz
Should be death
This POS should get the Death Penalty and even that is too humane for this animal! Thanks to good ole California, we, the tax payers now have to feed and house this monster for the rest of his pathetic existence! Feeling disgusted!
child killers and molestors do not last long in jail…
Not ENOUGH justice for such a heinous crime. Sickens and saddens me :(
Nadine Farrell
Wow just wow. Stephen Wright.
And now lawmakers are trying to say that putting someone on death row is “cruel and unusual” punishment. Sometimes I hate living in such a liberal state. How was it not “cruel and unusual” for what they did to deserve to be on death row in the first place? I think I want to move to Texas where they actually enforce the death penalty.
Me too…? agree. I have seriously suggested to my hubby that we move our fam to Texas!! Lol! But we luv Cali despite the cra cra Libs that run it! ??
Yes, we’re “stuck” here in San Diego (could be worse places to be stuck) b/c of family stuff and my husband’s job. Not complaining, but I would love to live in a conservative state. They say San Diego is mostly conservative, but I don’t see it.
I hope they really do what they say to asswholes in jail that commit crimes to innocent children!
How does he get to live??? And we get to feed and house him! Absolutely DISGUSTING.
Peggy Enbody I do not think he will last very long in prison when they find out why is he there.
OMG Danielle Chiniaeff, I think he should be tied to a tree and anyone who wants to can take turn. With a bat!! Just makes me cry thinking about that little baby. Miss you! Hope you’re doing good!! <3
I cannot get this through my head. I cannot understand why this happened. I am not only crying for that poor child right now, but over the fact that he may one day be free again. We all must hope that gets his real punishment on the inside. RIP beautiful baby Ellorah, i will grieve for you always.
Lock that pig up and throw away the key since California is soooooooo against the death penalty. What a joke. Hopefully the other inmates just do it for us for free.
In other news, hundreds of Planned Parenthood doctors will not face charges for killing thousands of unborn children today.
50 to Life. He hasn’t been sentenced yet. He just saved the taxpayers a boatload of money only to avoid the death penalty. I would think 50 years minimum in jail with his crimes might be worse than getting off easy with death. It takes like 30 years to put someone to death in this state so what’s the difference?
Not that I’m against but when it’s a young person, I really feel that life in prison is a worse punishment. Sitting in a cell thinking about why your there. In his case he will have to worry every that someone will kill him for having killed a baby.yes, he will suffer every day without hope of an appeal like he would if it were the death penalty.
Animal should not be able to see the light of day.. Evil!!!!
Kill him!!!!!
I just hope is put in general population and then maybe justice will really be served for that poor baby.
Wtf!???!! That’s it?????!!!
Omg. Brian D. Martinez omg omg omg
I saw this earlier.. Just wrong
I was hoping that it was an accident to rest my soul. My god.
Someone in the prison will take him out count on it
And if he had only “just” beat her to death…… It was worse and more evil then that. Demon possessed man and he really needs to just be put to death so God can deal with him. Sure as hell doesn’t make any sense here….. Public service announcement – don’t procreate with meth/crack heads. :/
Looking at this guy’s face on the web site listed above f –ken totally pissed me off. The size of that bastard and the thought of him beating and sexually hurting that poor defenseless 19 day old baby girl makes me sick to my stomach and God forgive me but I truly hate this guy and wish him a slow and painful death in jail by some very big guys . I’m sorry but it’s how I feel about this. Ass hole.
All I can say is, what’s this world coming too?! A 19 day old baby!!!
Her own father! I had to read it twice to be able to process it. I just couldn’t believe such a thing. God plz look down on us ?
He is gonna wish he was dead when he gets to prison. They don’t take kindly to guys that hurt children
He won’t last 50 minutes in prison. Inmates have a way of dealing with pedophiles.
50 years is not enough for what this demonic son of a B! Plea bargain is a complete injustice! How do just leave out torturing his child !!!!! This should be the death penalty or life in prison! With his luck he’ll be out in 25 and god knows who he’ll kill and torture then?!?!?
One aspect that nobody seems to have commented on: why was the mother of a 19 day old infant already back at work?
Bubba will get him.
Be angry at the district attorney Julie Kramer who accepted the plea deal for a case that would have resulted in a conviction with all the charges. Then this piece of crap would be in jail with the label he deserves. Child rapist and baby killer. He would then get the beat down in jail we all want him to have. Daily for 50+. REMEMBER THE NAME JULIE KRAMER PEOPLE! Because at some point she will run for an elected position and you never hear the backgrounds of the district attorney or the judges that run for office.
There is no worse crime than this. He’s a monster a true evil monster.
What happened to getting the Death Penalty?
Kill him
Que pasó
In my opinion this guy will do his self in first six months of prison, and that’s if the gangs don’t get him first. There maybe a lot of bad asses in the prison system, but I don’t think they will take kindly to a baby killer, and a supposed infant pedi file.
