On Tuesday, a jury in Brunswick agreed on 61-year-old David Edenfield’s punishment after deliberating for only two hours.
Edenfield is the first of three family members to stand trial for sexually assaulting and killing 6-year-old Christopher Michael Barrios in their mobile home in March 2007, then dumping his body wrapped in trash bags by the side of a road.
Edenfield's wife and grown son have also been charged.
