Saskatchewan father who killed toddler in police neglect case sentenced to 16 years [Video]

A judge has sentenced a Saskatchewan father to 16 years for manslaughter in the beating death of his toddler.

Kaij Brass of Prince Albert, Sask., was given about three years credit for the time he has spent in pretrial custody.

Brass spanked then hit the toddler on the chest and head out of frustration.
