Ex-NYPD Officer Michael Valva was convicted of murdering his 8 year-old-son Thomas after a Riverhead jury determined he forced the child to sleep in a freezing garage, failed to summon timely medical help and then lied to the first responders and doctors who tried in vain to save his son. The Suffolk County jury of eight women and four men sitting in Suffolk County Court found Valva guilty on the top charge of second-degree murder, finding that the one-time transit cop showed depraved indifference to whether his son -- a slight boy with hazel eyes who loved school and witnesses described as loving, intelligent, sweet and a stickler for the rules -- lived or died. Valva was also convicted of four counts of endangering the welfare of a child for starving and beating Thomas, who died from hypothermia, and his older brother Anthony, then 10 years old.
