For New York parents of a two-and-a-half month-old baby girl who died from starvation, there will be no jail time beyond the 45 days of time already served. 

Luis Gonzalez Jr., 26, and Kitrina Udrea, 23, both of Buffalo, were sentenced on Thursday to five years of probation, according to the district attorney's office.

The two defendants admitted that they “recklessly killed” their baby, Londyn Gonzalez, due to neglect. They pleaded guilty in May to second-degree manslaughter, according to the Post Millennial.

"The investigation determined that the defendants, while acting in concert with one another, recklessly caused the death of their infant daughter," the Eerie County DA's Office said in a press release.

The manslaughter charge carries a maximum 15 years in prison. At sentencing, Democrat New York Judge James F. Bargnesi told Gonzalez and Udrea that their actions were "absolutely outrageous" and "absolutely inexcusable," yet he sentenced them to just five year’s probation.
