Eugenio Torres, 24, was convicted of murder in a Pennsylvania court today following the death of his former girlfriend’s son, the Wall Street Journal reports. Torres could face the death sentence.
Court is scheduled to meet again today to present evidence of “aggravating circumstances” that would justify the death penalty versus life in prison without parole, the Journal reports.
The prosecution argued that the murder involved beating and torturing the child whereas the defense said that the child sustained injuries after a fall in the bathtub and subsequent injuries results from CPR efforts made by the defendant.
