(MSC News)--Life in prison.
KQ2-TV reports that was the sentence handed down Wednesday in a Buchanan County courtroom to St. Joseph resident Roy Miller in the death of 1-year-old Carter Lizar last August.
A judge last month found Miller guilty of child abuse resulting in death following a three-day bench trial.
Prosecutors say he violently shook the child, resulting in brain trauma that led to his death.
The child's mother, Sasha Lizar,was sentenced in December to seven years in prison on a charge of endangering the welfare of a child.
Authorities say she used methamphetamine while caring for the child, and left the child with others who used meth.
