Georgia Mother Convicted of Murdering Her Toddler

Leilani Simon found guilty of killing her 20-month-old son Quinton Simon and disposing of his body in a landfill.

Leilani Simon was convicted on 19 charges, including malice murder, felony murder, and making false statements.
The jury deliberated for a day after hearing eight days of witness testimony before reaching a unanimous verdict.
Quinton Simon was reported missing in October 2022, leading to a month-long search that ended with the discovery of his remains in a landfill.
Prosecutors highlighted Simon's false statements and her prioritization of her boyfriend over her child's well-being.
The defense argued the case was based on speculation and character attacks, but presented no witnesses.
