Authorities say Derrick Camp was brutally beaten by 39-year-old Clarence Brown and starved for getting something to eat without permission. Officials say the boy weighed just 66 pounds at the time of his death.
Derrick and four other children in the house were living in squalor, according to testimony given during a trial last week. Those children all had injuries consistent with child abuse.
Camp's mother, Jasmine Camp, was also found guilty of murder. Both adults were also charged with four counts of cruelty to children.
