GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (AP) – The father of a 10-month-old girl who died of dehydration and malnutrition was convicted of murder Monday in western Michigan. Jurors in Kent County saw startling photos of Mary Welch, who weighed just 8 pounds, a newborn’s weight, when she died in 2018. Seth Welch faces a mandatory sentence of life in prison. Welch and his wife didn’t seek help because of their religious beliefs, defense attorney Charles Clapp told the jury. Welch’s wife, Tatiana Fusari, also faces child abuse and murder charges.
