Massachusetts man found guilty in 'Baby Doe' murder trial

By EMILY SHAPIRO - Jun 26, 2017, 11:09 AM ET

A Massachusetts man has been found guilty of second-degree murder for the killing of 2-year-old Bella Bond, who was nicknamed "Baby Doe" after her unidentified body washed up on a Boston area beach.

The defendant, Michael McCarthy, was dating the victim's mother, Rachelle Bond, at the time of the girl's death. Her body was found in June 2015.

McCarthy faces a mandatory sentence of life in prison with the possibility of parole in 15 years, the Boston Globe reported.

The Associated Press reported that McCarthy's lawyer told jurors that Bond is a “monster” who killed her own daughter. McCarthy’s lawyer said in closing arguments that Bond created a “web of lies” and placed the blame on McCarthy, according to the AP.

Too bad he has the possibility of parole in 15 years, though. Poor little 2 year old.
