00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 1: Georgia is expected to spend the rest of his life

28
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:01,920
Speaker 1: in prison after being convicted of starving his four year

00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 1: old daughter to death. Nearly two years ago. The body

30
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:09,080
Speaker 1: of Treasure mcway was found with almost no food or water.

31
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:13,359
Speaker 1: On Wednesday, a Fulton County jury found Rodney mcway guilty

32
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 1: on all fourteen counts he faced relating to his daughter's death,

33
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:22,239
Speaker 1: including malice, murder and felony murder. In addition to these

34
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 1: serious charges, the jury also convicted mcway of three counts

35
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 1: each a first degree child cruelty, false imprisonment, kidnapping, and

36
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 1: contributing to the delinquency of a minor. Courtroom footage showed

37
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 1: Mcway remaining mostly expressionless as the jury delivered their verdict

38
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 1: after just a week of trial proceedings. As reported earlier,

39
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 1: Treasure was so severely malnourished that she weighed only twenty

40
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 1: four pounds and had less than an ounce of water

41
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 1: in her system when she was declared dead at the

42
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 1: Children's Hospital in Atlanta. A child of her age should

43
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:02,639
Speaker 1: typically weigh about twice that amount. On that day, Atlanta

44
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 1: police responded to a call about an unresponsive child at

45
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 1: mcway's residence. When they arrived, mcway was not present, but

46
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 1: later his two sons were found suffering in the hospital

47
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:18,680
Speaker 1: from severe malnourishment and other health issues. Investigators indicated the

48
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 1: evidence pointed to a history of abuse and neglect of

49
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:26,679
Speaker 1: Treasure and her siblings within that home, which prosecutors described

50
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:30,359
Speaker 1: as a house of horrors. Following a report to social

51
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 1: services regarding the dire condition in mcway's home, the Georgia

52
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 1: Division of Family and Children's Services took custody of the

53
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 1: children in late June. However, within a week, mcway traveled

54
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 1: to Maryland to retrieve the children's mother, Passion Mitchell then

55
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 1: allegedly took her car and returned to Georgia with the kids.

56
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 1: Reports indicate that mcway maintained a strict control over the children,

57
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 1: keeping them confined to a single room from which they

58
00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 1: could only exit with his permission. When police executed a

59
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:04,840
Speaker 1: search of the property, they found no food or clothing

60
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:09,120
Speaker 1: for any of the children, but several active surveillance cameras

61
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 1: were installed throughout the home, some aimed directly at the

62
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 1: children's beds. He controlled everything, so no one got in,

63
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 1: no one got out, said law enforcement officials. Mcway was

64
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:23,719
Speaker 1: apprehended about two weeks after his daughter's passing when officers

65
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 1: observed him leaving his home. They took him into custody.

66
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 1: During the trial, his defense attorney contended that while mcwage

67
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:34,279
Speaker 1: may have made wrong decisions, he never intended to harm

68
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 1: his children. His attorney said he genuinely loved him. Prosecutors

69
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:43,479
Speaker 1: adamantly deny that new and tragic details have emerged regarding

70
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:47,919
Speaker 1: the untimely death of renowned chef and Burrell. According to

71

Speaker 1: sources from law enforcement, Burrell was discovered by her husband,

72
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 1: Stuart Claxton, unresponsive on the bathroom floor early Tuesday morning,

00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 1: Claxton reportedly last saw her alive around one am the

Speaker 1: p night and found her unconscious between six and seven

75

Speaker 1: hours later. After calling nine to one one, He was

76
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:11,920
Speaker 1: allegedly instructed by the operator to administer CPR. However, reports

77
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 1: indicate that Burrell's body was cold upon discovery, leaving it

78
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:20,279
Speaker 1: unclear if CPR was actually performed. The beloved food network
