Temple later told police that Aiden's fussiness fueled his frustration and anger, and eventually caused him to shake the baby. Temple eventually alerted the baby's mother, Kendra Beach.

"Work was all normal until about 3:40 when I got your phone call. You told me you thought the baby was dead," Beach said to Temple in court on Friday.

Paramedics rushed Aiden to the hospital.

"I watched for four days as he lay on his quilt, dying in the pediatric intensive care unit," said Wanda Andrews, the baby's great-grandmother.

Charged with his son's death, Temple eventually pleaded guilty to second degree murder.

"I would give anything to have it back. I would give my own life to have him back, anything in this world," he said. "And I just want everyone to know that I did not do this intentionally and I am very sorry."

But Rick Garman, the baby's grandfather, said words are not good enough.

"Nobody, nobody could ever convince me it was a mistake. A mistake is when you forget to take the garbage out, when you forget to turn a light out when you leave a room, not when you kill another human being," he said.

Garman said the family will never stop suffering from the trauma of having lost a beloved child.

Judge Sharon Armstrong also showed little sympathy towards Temple.

"I am very troubled, Mr. Temple, by the fact that you did not immediately make every effort available to you to save the child," she said.

The judge sentenced Temple to more than ten years in prison and also ordered him to attend parenting classes since his current girlfriend is pregnant. She also forbid him from having any contact with Beach or anyone in her family for the rest of his life.
