SHEBOYGAN - A man who faced years in prison for a Sheboygan County toddler case is now a free man.

The Sheboygan Press reports a jury found 28-year-old Joshua Keenan not guilty of second degree reckless homicide after deliberating just over an hour Friday.

Keenan was a roommate to the boy's mother, and was watching the 2-year-old back in February.  He says he picked the toddler up, and the boy slipped from his grip and fell to the floor.

Defense attorneys say it was a tragic accident, and that the boy had previous injuries that also could have contributed to his death.

Keenan faced up to 15 years in prison.
