TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — A man who told friends he didn't want his 3-year-old son to become a sissy was sentenced to 30 years in prison for killing the boy by slamming his head into a kitchen wall just weeks after the child's return home from foster care.
Ronnie Paris, 22, was sentenced Friday after convictions last month for second-degree murder and aggravated child abuse.
His son, Ronnie, died Jan. 28, six days after the boy slipped into a coma with swelling on both sides of his brain.
