Leon Mathias, of Barnsley, is convicted of killing the nine-week-old in 'a moment of frustration'.
A father from Barnsley has been found guilty of murdering his baby son.
The trial, which began in November, heard extensive evidence from medical experts about injuries suffered by Hunter, who was taken to Barnsley Hospital in cardio-respiratory arrest on 30 November 2018.A medical examination found Hunter had suffered a bleed on the brain, swelling to the brain and extensive bleeding in the retinas of his eyes, injuries which prosecutor Robert Smith KC said were consistent with "vigorous shaking".
Mathias had denied shaking Hunter and said the infant "went floppy" in his arms while his partner and Hunter's mother, Rebecca Higginbottom, was downstairs with a friend.But an intensive care doctor and a paediatrician called by the prosecution both said there was no evidence pneumonia had led to Hunter's death.
