   15 years...That is all the life of a baby is worth to an atheist.   
      
   A Massachusetts man has been found guilty of second-degree   
   murder for the killing of 2-year-old Bella Bond, who was   
   nicknamed "Baby Doe" after her unidentified body washed up on a   
   Boston area beach.   
      
   The defendant, Michael McCarthy, was dating the victim's mother,   
   Rachelle Bond, at the time of the girl's death. Her body was   
   found in June 2015.   
      
   McCarthy faces a mandatory sentence of life in prison with the   
   possibility of parole in 15 years, the Boston Globe reported.   
      
   The Associated Press reported that McCarthy's lawyer told jurors   
   that Bond is a “monster” who killed her own daughter. McCarthy’s   
   lawyer said in closing arguments that Bond created a “web of   
   lies” and placed the blame on McCarthy, according to the AP.   
      
   McCarthy's recorded interview with police was played in court,   
   in which he denies killing Bella and says Bond put the blame on   
   him.   
      
   Bond testified that on the night Bella died, McCarthy went to   
   the 2-year-old’s room to tell Bella to lay down. Five minutes   
   later she returned to the room, where she witnessed McCarthy   
   punching Bella in the stomach, she continued.   
      
   "I saw her bounce off the bed" and then fall back down, Bond   
   told the jury.   
      
   She said Bella's "head was swollen and gray” and she tried to do   
   CPR.   
      
   She testified that she picked Bella up to leave but McCarthy   
   grabbed her by the throat with both hands and said he'd kill her.   
      
   Bond told the court she blacked out. When she woke up, she was   
   on the couch in the living room.   
      
   She testified that she told McCarthy he had killed Bella.   
   McCarthy replied, "It was her time to die, she was a demon,"   
   Bond said.

   That night McCarthy injected Bond with heroin in her neck, and   
   later brought her to his car, she said on the stand. She said a   
   green duffel bag was in the backseat and she thought Bella was   
   in the bag. She said McCarthy hit her on the head, and when she   
   regained consciousness, she did not recognize where she was, and   
   McCarthy and the bag were not in the car with her. McCarthy   
   later returned to the car, she said.   
      
   In June 2015 the girl's unidentified body, a zebra-print blanket   
   and polka dot leggings were found on Deer Island, about eight   
   miles east of Boston's Logan Airport.   
      
   Computer composites used to identify the body were viewed by   
   millions and the mystery surrounding the unknown victim   
   captivated the country.   
      
   In September 2015 Bella was finally identified, and McCarthy and   
   Bond were arrested.   
      
   Bond, who was charged as an accessory, pleaded guilty earlier   
   this year in exchange for her testimony against McCarthy, ABC   
   affiliate WCVB reported in February. She is currently   
   incarcerated. After the trial, she will be released from jail   
   and will serve probation for two years, according to the plea   
   agreement. Bond will be formally sentenced Thursday.   
      
   McCarthy will be sentenced Wednesday to life in prison with the   
   possibility of parole in at least 15 years.
