Amanda Brumfield, Billy Bob Thornton's estranged daughter, was sentenced Thursday to 20 years in prison for aggravated manslaughter, the Orlando Sentinel reports.
Even worse? The victim was her one-year-old goddaughter.
In October 2008, Brumfield was babysitting Olivia Madison Garcia, who died while in her care. Brumfield, 32, was initially charged with murder, but found not guilty.
The manslaughter charge stuck, however. Big time.

"I miss Olivia just as much as anybody does," Amanda said at Thursday's sentencing before breaking down, according to the Central Florida newspaper.
Since her arrest, Amanda Brumfield has maintained that the infant hit her head falling, trying to climb out of a playpen. Apparently a jury was unswayed.
Olivia's mother, Heather Murphy, told the newspaper that the sentence was "more than I expected." No word if she will appeal the 20-year-sentence.
