Andrea Bradley pleaded no contest Wednesday to murder.

The girl's father, Glen Bates, is on death row after being convicted of murder.
At one point in the case, the girl's 10-year-old sister testified the toddler's father held the Glenara by the legs and swung her at the wall the night before her death.
A pathologist said Glenara had bruises, scars, burns, open sores and missing teeth when her mother took her to the hospital.
