Before a father from Melbourne shook his young son violently, he left the four-month-old alone to buy alcohol.
“You have to live with Flynn’s death and the consequences for the other victims for the rest of your life,” said Judge Paul Coghlan on Thursday.
Staples initially claimed Baby Flynn fell off a changing table while putting a diaper in the trash can, but later claimed he was “too rough” during a diaper change.
He later revealed to the baby’s mother, Robyn Hall, on a taped phone call that these explanations were lies.
The former apprentice left his son alone and went around the corner to buy premixed alcohol in nearby stores. Before the crime, he drank up to seven cans of bourbon and cola.
“You knowingly deliberately lied about what happened to Flynn,” said the judge.
Staples claimed he did not remember shaking the child, but admitted that he may have hit the boy’s head on the floor while drunk.
Staples have been diagnosed with personality disorder, anxiety, and depression, and alcohol has been used as a coping mechanism.
The killer has since written an apology letter to his ex-partner and her family.
The death of the child left Ms. Hall and her parents devastated.
“I can not imagine how I should live without him,” Ms. Hall said earlier in a statement to the court.
“I still don’t understand how he could have hurt our baby.”
Flynn’s grandparents also struggled to come to terms with the loss of their grandson and the impact it had on their daughter.
“The sight of his coffin, which was the length of my arm, is forever burned into my memory,” said Mr. Hall with tears.
Your life will never be the same again, said the judge.
Staples can be paroled after seven years, and he has been behind bars for 490 days.
