(AP) — A judge has sentenced a Hawaiʻi father to 10 years of probation for his role in the starvation death of his 9-year-old daughter. The Hawaiʻi Tribune-Herald reports Kevin Lehano won’t serve more jail time because he has spent nearly four years behind bars, which is twice the maximum term in a probation sentence. He pleaded no contest to manslaughter. His wife also received a sentence of 10 years of probation in March. The girl’s grandmother was her legal guardian and has pleaded not guilty to murder. The girl was found unconscious in her grandmother’s apartment in 2016.
