MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - A man who pleaded guilty in the fatal beating of his girlfriend’s 3-year-old son in western Minnesota has been sentenced to 30 years in prison.
Twenty-four-year-old Sterling Andersen, of rural Ogema, avoided a possible life prison term by pleading to second-degree murder in the October 2015 death of Steven Warren at the couple’s home on the White Earth Indian Reservation.
The Star Tribune (https://strib.mn/2oqXGmk ) reports Andersen told authorities he punched and kneed the toddler because the boy wouldn’t stop crying. Andersen was sentenced in federal court in Minneapolis last week.
