NEW BRUNSWICK, N.J. - A man accused of throwing his 3-month-old daughter off a North Jersey bridge testified at his murder trial Thursday that the baby was already dead when he tossed her into the Raritan River.
Shamsid-Din Abdur-Raheem told jurors that his infant daughter fell to the floor and hit her head during a tussle he had with the baby's maternal grandmother at the woman's East Orange home on Feb. 16, 2010, the Newark Star-Ledger reported.
Abdur-Raheem admitted taking the child from the grandmother and fleeing with her in his car down the Garden State Parkway.
