US EditionAtlanta Man Gets More than 150 Years in Prison for Starving Daughter and Abusing Other Children
SOUTHWEST ATLANTA, GEORGIA, JUL 11 – Rodney McWeay was sentenced after being convicted of felony murder and child cruelty for starving his daughter following prior child removals for neglect, prosecutors said.
- Last month, Rodney McWeay, 33, was sentenced to life in prison plus 155 years for starving his daughter to death.
- Following the investigation, police found Treasure unresponsive in December 2023 after kidnapping her from Maryland five months earlier, with DFCS removing children weeks prior for confinement without essentials.
- Autopsy revealed Treasure weighed only 24 pounds and died from dehydration and malnourishment, with McWeay convicted of felony murder and child cruelty.
- In response, District Attorney Fani Willis called the case a heartbreaking reminder of child safety, expressing gratitude to investigators and praying for Treasure’s surviving siblings and mother.
- Last month, the court asked parties to submit on whether this case warrants a life sentence as a potential legal precedent for worst culpable homicide cases.
