Barring a successful appeal, Stephen West will spend the rest of his life in prison for the death of an 18-month-old girl under his care last year. A Hall County jury found West guilty Tuesday in the June 2011 death of Kaylee Kipp. Autopsy reports showed the Gainesville girl died as a result of several blows to the head.
