CADDO PARISH, LA (KSLA) -

Accused baby killer Samuel Jordan has been found guilty as charged.

KSLA News 12 has confirmed that it took a Caddo Parish jury just about 90 minutes Saturday night to return with a unanimous verdict of guilt against Jordan.

Prosecutors have said they are seeking the death penalty.

Police charged Jordan, 24, with murder back in 2008 when his 9-week-old daughter, Lyrica T. Kennedy, died after fighting for her life for nearly a week.

It was Jordan who took the infant, suffering from severe head injuries, to Willis-Knighton Pierremont, police said at the time. The child was pronounced dead six days later.

The penalty phase of this trial begins at 2 p.m. Sunday.

KSLA News 12 will keep you posted as this case continues to develop over the weekend.
