Quick of the law firm of Rabinowitz, Swartz, Taliaferro, Swartz & Goodove, pleaded guilty Wednesday to capital murder in the slaying of his 12-year-old stepdaughter, and the judge who sentenced him to life said the prosecution had been compromised because the state medical examiner involved had drug convictions.
