DETROIT -- A Michigan man who shot his 15-year-old son to death after the teen admitted molesting a 3-year-old girl has been convicted of second-degree murder.

Jamar Pinkney Sr. of Highland Park was convicted Thursday in the Nov. 16 death of Jamar Pinkney Jr.

The elder Pinkney's attorney has said the father became enraged after his son's admission and couldn't control himself when, witnesses say, he forced the teen to strip, marched him to an empty lot and shot him through the head.

Defense attorney Corbett Edge O'Meara says the 37-year-old Pinkney never expected to be exonerated.
