A Michigan man convicted of involuntary manslaughter and second-degree child abuse in the death of his 8-month-old daughter has been sentenced to at least 10 years in prison.
The Lansing State Journal reports 22-year-old Tatum Cole of Lansing apologized before learning his punishment Wednesday.
Ingham County Circuit Court Judge Rosemarie Aquilina told him: "The only remorse you have, sir, is for yourself — that you will be locked up and taken away from your family."
He was charged with murder and first-degree child abuse in the 2016 death of Ava Cole, but jurors found him guilty of the lesser charges. Testimony indicated that he was sleep-deprived and angry when he threw the infant onto a couch.
Officials say Ava had cerebral palsy, a heart condition and other medical problems.
