Incest father pleads guilty to all counts

In a stunning turn of events, an Austrian on trial for imprisoning his daughter for 24 years and fathering her seven children pleaded guilty March 18 to all charges against him — including negligent homicide — after hearing his daughter's heart-wrenching testimony. Josef Fritzl, 73, faces up to life imprisonment on the negligent homicide count for the death of a twin baby boy, which he initially had contested along with an enslavement charge. (AP)
