Billy Bob Thornton’s estranged daughter Amanda Brumfield was sentenced to 20 years in prison Thursday after she was found guilty of aggravated manslaughter of a child in May.

Brumfield, 32, was found guilty in connection with the 2008 death of her best friend’s daughter, 1-year-old Olivia Madison Garcia, who she claimed hit her head after falling while trying to climb out of a playpen.

During the trial prosecutors argued that it was “impossible” that the three-and-a-half inch fracture on Garcia’s skull was caused by a fall from that height.

A source close to Brumfield told RadarOnline.com that her defense team plans to file an appeal of the sentence.

She had been found not guilty on first degree murder and aggravated child abuse charges in Olivia’s death.

Billy Bob was married to Angelina Jolie for three years and has four children by three different women, but none by Jolie.

In a strange coincidence, Amanda Brumfield’s trial took place in the same courthouse where Casey Anthony’s trial was held. Anthony was acquitted of killing her daughter Caylee Marie Anthony.

Linds did the same thing to some random kid in the park when she thought no one was looking, but her lawyer got her out of it. I guess it still pays to be a real celebrity.

Buck-toothed, horseface, gargoyl-eared Anthony should be in a cell next to this gal, killed her child and walked free. Casey, your life will be miserable, as it should be.

I don't know anywhere near the whole story but unless the baby was standing on the rail and leaped onto a cement floor, I don't think she could have sustained that much injury to her skull. The whole situation is so sad.

this does not make sense that Casey Anthony could drug her kid..let her rot in the trunk..throw her in the ditch like garbage..not tell anyone she was missing and shes out but this case hangs on doubt that the fall was enough to kill her??
