Hamilton County prosecutor Joe Deters argued that Kelley arrived home intoxicated after 2 a.m. and Shanti's mother and his longtime girlfriend, Tina Lanza, forced him out of the house. Kelley then fired four shots into the air, Deters argued, one of which ended up in a second-story bedroom of the house where Shanti was hiding. The bullet struck her in the chest. 'This is the end of the road for this enabling,' Deters said after an earlier court appearance.

Kelley's attorney, Hugh McCloskey Jr., says that after talking the case over with the judge, his client realized that a six-year sentence was the best deal he was going to get.

Violence in his blood: Kelley has been charged three times in 12 years with domestic violence against his long-time girlfrfiend and mother of his child Kristina Lanza .

Vince Lanza, Shanti’s uncle, said: 'It was one of those relationships that they can't be together but they can't be without each other.' Kelley, facing more than 20 years in prison on the original manslaughter charge and other charges, was balking on a plea deal offering a six-year sentence, the minimum possible. Assistant Hamilton County Prosecutor Mark Piepmeier said prosecutors only offered the minimum because Kristina Lanza demanded the most lenient sentence possible for her boyfriend. During a break for Kelley to consider the offer, family members and friends of Kelley and Lanza argued aggressively with Piepmeier, saying the proposed six-year sentence for killing the girl was too harsh.

She and Danielle Lott, who identified herself as Shanti's aunt, were held in contempt of court after ignoring multiple requests to tone down their behavior, Allen said. Both women will appear in court on Thursday for a contempt hearing. 'I've handled dozens and dozens of child murders in my career,' prosecutor Piepmeier said. "This is the first time I've ever had the mother of a murder victim tell me we're treating the person that killed her child too harshly. 'It just makes you scratch your head sometimes, makes you wonder where people are coming from.'
