A letter Sean Phillips wrote to the baby's mother from prison not long after his arrest was one of the pieces of evidence presented in court. In it, he claims he accidentally killed the baby in a fit of a rage, not knowing Kate was in the carseat when he threw it to the ground, then being too distraught to think of helping her.
The defense argued the letter shows that Phillips committed manslaughter, at most. The prosecution called it a self-serving, narcissistic, me-me-me letter designed to manipulate and minimize his crimes.
The prosecution closed their case by telling the jury that, at minimum, Sean Phillips threw the baby from the carseat, stripped her, and left her to die alone somewhere in the elements.
I hope he gets sentenced to life in prison. And, I hope he finally reveals the location of baby Kate's remains as the police are again pressing him to do, but I doubt he'll give up the location unless he gets something in return.
