GALVESTON (October 28, 2009)--Prosecutors showed a Galveston County jury video Wednesday of the stepfather of the girl known as "Baby Grace" as he admitted to dumping the toddler’s body in Galveston Bay.

Jurors viewed the video after hearing opening statements from prosecutors and defense attorneys for Royce Clyde Zeigler II, who’s charged with capital murder in the death of 2-year-old Riley Ann Sawyers.

The girl’s body was discovered in 2007 in a plastic box that washed up on an island in Galveston Bay.

The 2-year-old was called "Baby Grace" until news accounts helped relatives in Ohio recognize and identify her.

Defense attorney Neal Davis III told jurors Wednesday that Zeigler is guilty of concealing evidence, but not of killing the girl.

But prosecutor Kayla Allen said Zeigler gave investigators conflicting statements on the girl's death at the couple's home in the Houston suburb of Spring.

Zeigler’s wife, Kimberly Dawn Trenor, 21 was convicted of capital murder in February and was sentenced to life in prison.
