TL;DR Summary

In a high-profile case, a father and his brother-in-law have been found guilty of terrorism charges in connection with the kidnapping and death of a three-year-old boy. The defendants, who were part of a family living in a squalid compound in New Mexico, were convicted of kidnapping and related terrorism charges. Prosecutors argued that the family had fled with the toddler to engage in firearms training and believed the boy would be resurrected as Jesus Christ. The case gained national attention after a police raid on the compound rescued 11 malnourished children. The defendants, who are Muslim, claimed they were targeted due to their religion. Sentencing has yet to be scheduled.
