Michael Reynolds, 35, was sentenced to life with the possibility of parole for the murder of his girlfriend's 18-month-old daughter, McKenzie Duffey, by a Fulton County jury on Wednesday. Reynolds was found guilty of felony murder, first-degree cruelty to children, and aggravated assault, despite being acquitted of malice murder. Judge Robert McBurney noted the impact of the child's death on her family and acknowledged the complexities of the case, which initially appeared accidental before being ruled a homicide due to blunt force trauma.
