A man was sentenced to 40 years in prison for beating his girlfriend’s toddler to death, according to reports this week.

And a 911 call from Brandon Walter Lee Newberry, of Montana, said it all.

“It’s my fault, it’s my fault,” he screamed. He told police that he was “roughhousing” with his girlfriend’s 2-year-old son before toddler got sick and died days later.

Officials, however, painted a different picture. They said he beat the boy, Forrest Groshelle, tearing a hole in his intestines in February 2015, the Flathead Beacon reported.
