A man from Hamilton convicted of leaving his 2-year-old son to die after a crash in Pennsylvania is headed to prison.
According to authorities, Christopher Kuhn was running after he shoplifted from a Philadelphia-area Walmart last October. 
Kuhn was found guilty in March of murder and other charges following a nonjury trial.
He must serve between eight and 30 years under the sentence imposed Monday.
Police say Kuhn fled the Levittown Town Center store after taking $228 worth of television speakers.
He ran a red light and collided with two other vehicles, the impact throwing his son onto the road and fracturing his skull.
Kuhn stepped over the injured toddler before running away, authorities say.
The boy later died at a hospital. Police say he wasn't in a safety seat.
The Associated Press wire services contributed to this report.
