Man Sentenced in Shaken Baby Case
Last Update: 11:54 am

An emotional day in a Mahoning County courtroom as a Springfield township man is sentenced in a shaken baby case.

There were a lot of tears Thursday morning as the Judge sentenced 26-year-old David Bowdish to six years in prison for shaking his then 2 month old son. Bowdish appeared to show remorse ,which the judge took notice of before he was handed his sentence. The child, Caleb who is now 6 months old is expected to make a full recovery. His mother, Heather Graver spoke to the court and says she forgives Bowdish for what happened. "i'm not angry, I'm hurt. My pain is for Caleb having to live with this and knowing this is because of his father. In my heart, I know David did not hurt him intentionally, I know he loves him," said Graver.

Graver also says while she forgives, she can never forget what happened, and says once Bowdish is out, she may not allow the two to be alone ever again. After Bowdish is released, he will still be on parole for three years.
