Father sentenced for death of baby in Wilkes-Barre

Kashawn Butler was sentenced Tuesday to 15 to 30 years in prison.

WILKES-BARRE, Pa. — In Wilkes-Barre, a father will spend at least 15 years in prison for the death of his baby boy.

Kashawn Butler was sentenced Tuesday after pleading guilty to third-degree murder.

It was back in 2012 when police say Butler shook his three-month-old son.

Butler was just 17 years old at the time.

The baby suffered massive head injuries and died as a result of those injuries in 2019.
