Second District Judge David Roth sentenced an Ogden man Wednesday to up to life in prison on the defendant's conviction in the beating death of his girlfriend's 2-year-old son.
During the sentencing hearing, Roth said he could find no mitigating circumstances that would allow him to reduce the five-year-to-life sentence for Frank LeRoy Archuleta, 29.Archuleta, the judge said, continued to claim no involvement in the crime, showed little or no remorse "and, in fact, you claim you are a victim."
Roth also ordered Archuleta to pay $1,529 in restitution. But the judge said Roth can remain in the Weber County Jail for one week, before being sent to the Utah State Prison, to be near his family during the Christmas holidays.
