Michael Valva was found guilty on five charges, including second-degree murder, by a Suffolk County jury in the ex-NYPD officer's murder trial after the death of his son.
The jury started deliberating on Friday morning the case of a father charged with killing his son by keeping him in an unheated garage on a frigid night.The jury got the case after the prosecution and defense delivered their closing arguments, with prosecutors accusing Michael Valva of subjecting his 8-year-old son with autism to years of abuse.
"Let's remember that he's still suffering from the loss of his child so no matter what the verdict is, he still has to deal with that tragic lost," said defense attorney John LoTurco.Valva's attorney defended him outside court, but on the inside, prosecutors told jurors that Valva treated his child poorly in the final moments of his life - screaming at him and striking him as he died of hypothermia.
