Judge gives Port St. Lucie's Michael Beer maximum sentence in death of toddler foster son

Michael Beer, convicted in June by a Circuit Court jury of aggravated manslaughter in the September 2014 death of his 2-year-old foster son, was sentenced Tuesday to the maximum 30 years in prison.

Beer’s attorney, Lance Richard of Stuart, termed it a “life sentence” for the 51-year-old who had been a Port St. Lucie resident until his arrest in the September 2014 death of Trysten Eli Frank Adams.
