His sister, Annastasia Curry, testified she was cooking dinner and could hear Curry and her niece laughing in the living room. She testified she went out to check on them at one point and saw the little girl covered with tape.
"She was laughing; he was laughing," the sister said. "I saw him take the tape off, and I went back in the kitchen."
Cook County prosecutors contend that by placing the tape over the girl's mouth, Curry obstructed her breathing and committed a battery. Prosecutors did not present evidence the child was injured.
Adam told the judge Curry is a good father who was just being playful.
"Was this something stupid to do? No question about it," Adam said. "But they're asking you to find him guilty of some very serious charges."

Curry, who can have only supervised visits with the child, could face up to seven years in prison if convicted on the aggravated battery charge.
The girl's mother, Yesmin Doss, has said she supports Curry.
