John Jonchuck's lawyers claimed their client was insane when he threw his 5-year-old daughter, Pheobe, off the 60-foot high bridge in Tampa, Florida in January 2015. A jury disagreed Tuesday and found him guilty.
He parked on the bridge and picked Phoebe up off the back seat as the cop who had been following yelled for him to get back in the car, shouting: ‘Let me see your hands.’
Jonchuck was previously declared unfit to stand trial for Phoebe’s death, but doctors recently decided that his positive reaction to medication made was sufficiently competent to face a jury. Phoebe was killed after plunging from the top of the Sunshine Skyway Bridge, pictured, which runs over Tampa Bay in FloridaHis mother, Mickey Jonchuck, 58, said: ‘He became fixated with the Bible.’
