UPDATE: Jose Rangel was sentenced to two years in prison for helping his son after Lesly Palacio's death last year.
The Palacio family says two years is not enough.
"Although we do know that they can't give him more than two years, it's still not really justice for us," said Nayelli Palacio, Lesly's sister.
The 46-year-old pled guilty to destroying evidence and accessory to commit murder -- both gross misdemeanor charges which each carry a maximum sentence of one year in jail.
Rangel received credit for 205 days for time already served. He will serve the rest of the time in the Clark County Detention Center.
He apologized repeatedly during the sentencing. Rangel told the courtroom that he knew that he had failed both families involved.
