After deliberating for only a couple hours; the jury in the Joseph Haslett murder trial returns with its verdict on Friday. Jury members convicted Haslett of second degree murder in the death of 18-month-old Gavin Jordan.
Haslett said the boy drown in the bathtub, but later tried to explain bruises as "rough housing." The incident happened in 2005 when Haslett was babysitting.
The child's mother also faces child endangerment charges.
Haslett will be sentenced in June. He's facing 10-30 years or life in prison.
