His wife still faces a charge of making a false statement.

A Camden County jury found a Kings Bay sailor guilty of involuntary manslaughter and three other charges in the death of his 11-week-old son, who prosecutors asserted suffocated while the man played an online video game.

The eight-woman, four-man jury deliberated about 21/2 hours before delivering its verdicts finding Andrew Warner, 29, guilty of involuntary manslaughter, second-degree cruelty to children, reckless conduct and making false statements to law enforcement officers.

Superior Court Judge Anthony Harrison, who presided over the two-day trial, allowed Warner to remain free on bail until Wednesday, when he is to report to the Camden County jail.

Although she testified that she did not see her husband playing the game “World of Warcraft” the day their son Brandin died, she did acknowledge the game had become a sore point in their marriage.

Under cross-examination Thursday by District Attorney Jackie Johnson, Kristy Warner acknowledged that she had told her husband he played the game to the point he neglected his family, which includes three daughters.

“It seemed he spent more time with that than he did us,” she said.

Brandin Warner died Jan. 16, 2009, as his father, a Kings Bay sailor, babysat him at their Kingsland home.

Investigators testified on the first day of the trial that Andrew Warner said on the day of his son’s death that he had fed his son, played with him and then put him on his and his wife’s bed with pillows around him so he would not roll off. But when a completed autopsy report arrived six months later saying Brandin had suffocated, Andrew Warner acknowledged to Naval Criminal Investigative Services that he played “World of Warcraft” longer than he had admitted earlier and had seen his son with a pillow over his head.- Florida Times-Union

The Warners are a piece of work. Mrs. Warner claims she didn’t even know she was pregnant with her Brandin.  He was their 4th child. I just don’t understand how an experienced mother can’t know she’s pregnant. Those regular kicks you’re getting are only an upset tummy, right?

I feel sorry for the other children.
