Chana, who serves as a magistrate on the Birmingham bench, was charged with manslaughter on 15 February last year at his former home in Tennal Road, Harborne, which the couple shared. They claimed they had not realised that the toddler was badly injured.
Prosecutor Timothy Raggatt QC said: "It's one of the awful tragedies of this case that her death was completely avoidable and, had she received medical treatment at or around the time of those injuries, she would have survived."
