A Virginia man has been convicted of murdering his 15-month-old son in what prosecutors say was an attempt to collect half a million dollars in life insurance, People confirms.
Fairfax County, Virginia, Judge Randy Bellows issued his ruling on Thursday. Defendant Joaquin Shadow Rams, 38, will likely receive a life sentence as a result of the verdict.
Rams had waived his right to a jury trial after authorities agreed not to seek the death penalty, prosecutor Paul Ebert tells People.
Rams was charged with murdering his young son, Prince McLeod Rams, in 2013 — several months after the boy died under suspicious circumstances.
