If only Robert Abbott had read his 2-year-old step-daughter a book to stop her crying that September night in 2011... But instead of trying to calm the child by reading a story, or some other method, Willoughby said Abbott held a pillow over Hailey May Byrne's face. The girl suffocated and died...

"This was a thing in the child's life," Willoughby told 2nd District Judge Ernie Jones. "This [smothering] was not a one time occurrence."

An emotional Abbott stood before the judge and was sentenced to spend one to 15 years in prison. The 33-year-old man was originally charged with first-degree felony child-abuse homicide, but in January he pleaded guilty to a lesser second-degree felony count of child-abuse homicide.
