The man charged with dropping his 18-month-old granddaughter from an 11th-floor cruise ship window, leading to her death, will reportedly plead guilty in the case.

Salvatore “Sam” Anello had initially pleaded not guilty to negligent homicide for the July death of his granddaughter Chloe Wiegand on a Royal Carribean ship docked in San Juan, Puerto Rico.

But a lawyer for Anello, Michael Winkleman, told NBC News that the grandfather will change his plea in exchange for no jail time.

The deal, Winkleman told the outlet, “is in the best interests of the family so that they can close this horrible chapter and turn their focus to mourning Chloe.”

Under terms of the plea agreement, Anello will serve probation where he lives in South Bend, Indiana.

Anello could have received a three-year prison sentenced if convicted at trial.

The grandfather had raised the tot up to an open window before she fell, claiming he was unaware the window was open.
