Marana hot car death: Father could get plea deal
Chris Scholtes is facing charges of first-degree murder and child abuse in the death of his 2-year-old daughter in August.

Scholtes said he left the car running with the air conditioning on and got distracted while playing video games. Scholtes’ wife arrived home and found their daughter unconscious. The girl later died at the hospital.
