On Tuesday, a Lincoln County Circuit Court judge sentenced Emerson Cromwell to life imprisonment, saying that he was responsible for the violent and horrible death of his 15-month-old toddler.

Imposing the presumptive sentence prescribed by the legislature, Judge Sheryl Bachart said the child was often left at home alone and that Cromwell was ill-equipped to be a father.

Cromwell (27) was convicted by a Lincoln County jury of murder in the second degree, assault in the first degree, assault in the second degree, and manslaughter in the first degree, after a trial lasting nearly a month.
