 Hi everyone, thanks for watching tonight. A Bemidji man whose two-year-old foster daughter drowned after he left her in the shower has been sentenced to more than four years in prison for second-degree manslaughter. 39-year-old Nathan Daniel Jackson received the maximum sentence allowed by law from Judge John Melby. Motions ran high during the sentencing hearing as family members of Freedman had the opportunity to speak during the hearing. Jackson apologized to his family, Freedman's family and many others. After the sentencing, Jackson's family told Lakeland News they felt the sentence was too harsh. It's a tragic accident that happened and they're blowing it way out of proportion. He was convicted before the trial even started. Outside the Beltrami County Courthouse, people gathered in support of Kira Freedman, drawing attention to the changes needed to make the foster care system safe for all children. After Judge Melby ruled in favor of the maximum sentence of 57 months in prison, family members of Freedman were happy with the hearing's outcome. 57 months which is Kira was only alive for 50 months at this time so the family is happy that she is going to be serving more time than she was alive so the family is really excited to hear that. Jackson will receive credit for the 264 days that he has already spent in the Beltrami County Jail.
