Hirwin Calderon-Ordonez, 29, was sentenced to 15 years to life in his son's fatal beating. An autopsy determined that the 4-year-old boy had died from blunt force trauma.

Media reports indicated that the boy's father called 911. The child's mother -- who chose not to attend the sentencing -- was not home at the time, according to the prosecutor.A second charge -- assault on a child causing death -- was dismissed as a result of his plea.
