Ridge says in the letter that he is a neighbor of 21-year-old Matthew Lazenby, who lives with his parents in Millcreek Township. Ridge says in the letter that Lazenby is a "loving and nurturing father" despite his crime.
An Erie County judge sentenced Lazenby Tuesday. He had previously pleaded guilty to shaking and striking the 23-month-old toddler last Halloween, fracturing her skull and causing neurological damage.
The victim is not Lazenby's biological child. He has a 2½-year-old daughter.
Lazenby acknowledged problems with alcohol and anger management. His attorney argued for a three-year sentence.
