A dad who let his 10-month-old foster daughter die in a hot car as he smoked weed and watched Game Of Thrones has been jailed for almost three years.

Seth Jackson, 29, admitted the involuntary manslaughter of Kadillak Poe-Jones but begged a judge not to jail him, saying "I'm not a monster".
He had originally been charged with murder.
Police said Jackson left the baby in a vehicle in Wichita, Kansas, for several hours on July 24 as temperatures in the city hovered around 32 degrees Celsius.
Jackson had picked up marijuana from a dealer and then returned home.
He started using the drug without taking Kadillak out of the car, prosecutors said.
Jackson told police he forgot the girl was in the car and only realised when he saw a child on the Game Of Thrones episode he was watching.
The teaching assistant rushed back to the car, but Kadillak was dead.
An autopsy has revealed that Kadillak - who Jackson had been fostering since she was two-weeks-old - died from hypothermia due to heat exposure.
On Friday, Jackson wept as he begged for no prison time, telling a packed courtroom: "Your honor, I'm a broken man, pleading here for my life."
The judge said that while Jackson may not have intentionally abandoned Kadillak, it was not an accident and jailed him for 32 months.culled

I have heard severally that couples forget their kids in the car.
Jackson seems like a good but careless father,maybe that is why the judge didn't go for capital punishment.
