Reported by:

(Brunswick, GA) -- It took a jury in Brunswick, Georgia less than two hours Monday afternoon to convict David Edenfield of abducting, molesting and murdering six-year-old Christopher Barrios two years ago.

Edenfield showed no emotion when the panel announced guilty verdicts on nine counts related to Barrrios' slaying.

In his closing argument to the jury, District Attorney Stephen Kelley said Edenfield's own words describing how he sodomized and then choked the six-year-old to death convicted him.

Kelley played portions of a DVD recording of Edenfield confessing to Glynn County police that he molested and murdered the kindergartner as the child begged him to stop.

The jury now is taking up the matter of punishment in this death penalty case.
