JAMESTOWN, N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – 25 year-old Justice Lange has been sentenced to 12 years in prison and 2 years of supervised probation in the death of her 4 month-old baby in 2018.

Lange’s charge of manslaughter was changed to negligent homicide, but the child neglect charge stayed the same. The judge told Lange that she’s caused the court “many sleepless nights” also telling Lange that her conduct killed her baby.

The judge held a minute of silence for 4 month-old Tyr, saying it was to remember his last minutes of life when he was starving, without water or clothes and stuck in the summer heat.

Lange’s ex-fiancé, Jason Wilde, was telephoned into the hearing. He was very emotional—saying he’ll never understand why she did this and he’ll always miss his son. He admitted to getting meth for Lange, but he says it was because Lange asked him to.
