BALTIMORE (AP) - A jury has found a Baltimore man guilty in the fatal beating of his girlfriend’s baby, a verdict that comes nearly five years after he was convicted of killing his own son.
The Baltimore Sun reports that 36-year-old Francois Brown could be sentenced to life in prison after his conviction on Monday for second-degree murder and child abuse resulting in a death.
Prosecutors say Brown was walking her 18-month-old boy back from a playground last year when he took the boy behind an apartment building and beat him to death.
Brown showed no reaction when the guilty verdict was read. He served nearly three years in prison for the 2012 death of his 7-month-old son, who was hospitalized with rib fractures and bleeding in his brain.
