"Further investigation revealed the father had admitted to cutting off Kaleb's airway to try to get him to go to sleep and that caused the death," Olson said.

At an initial court appearance Tuesday, Reddout told the judge, "All I have to say is this is crap. They say I admitted to it and I didn't admit to it."

A judge said Daniel Reddout’s ongoing practice of choking his toddler son to calm him for naps was “off the charts dangerous"...

“You did not fully appreciate the danger that you presented to Kaleb. You are a bad parent, not a parent who set out to intentionally kill his child. Nonetheless, you are a dangerous individual. You did this repeatedly,” Stigler said Monday as he sentenced Reddout to up to 50 years in prison...

Authorities had charged Reddout with first-degree murder and child endangerment causing death and child endangerment, multiple acts. During a September trial, jurors found him guilty of the child endangerment charges and a lesser charge of involuntary manslaughter.
