In Virginia, a 38-year-old man was convicted of murdering his 15-month-old son, in order to collect half a million dollars from various life insurances he had put in his name.

A few hours ago, Judge Randy Bellows sentenced Shadow Rams to remain in jail while his sentence is pronounced, which is scheduled for June 22. This could be for life in prison.

In 2013 Rams was accused of murdering his son, Prince McLeod Rams, several months after the boy died under suspicious circumstances. At first, it was thought that his father had drowned him, but this could not be proven, so that later his cause of death was declared "not determined".

Prosecutor Paul Ebert in the case told People the defendant could be a serial killer as his ex-girlfriend Shawn Mason was killed in 2003 and five years later his mother Alma Collins was found dead in what was found. it qualified as a suicide. At that time her son received rado under the name of his little son, arguing that he would have acquired them to collect the more than half a million dollars they added.

Rams' defense attorney, who at all times maintained his innocence, said that his attorney had purchased all of these insurances in order to pay for his son's college expenses when he grew up.

"This guy thought he was smarter than he actually was," Ebert declared, "like most criminals …" He lived his entire adult life on the proceeds of the deaths of others."

Rams was also found guilty of committing fraud against insurance companies.
