CASPER, Wyo. (AP) - Two Casper men have entered guilty pleas in cases of children suffering broken bones.

Mitchell Alan McCain faces three to five years in prison for breaking a 2-year-old girl’s leg in August 2017. KTWO-AM reports McCain entered an Alford plea to child abuse Wednesday. Under such a plea, McCain did not admit guilt but acknowledges the state has enough evidence to gain a conviction.

The girl had suffered a broken leg in June 2017, as well. McCain said a dog knocked the child down the stairs.
