Brown has more than 2,000 Facebook friends, but after the death of Brown's son some of those friends have turned into enemies. Posts that read "You're better off dead," and "He couldn't be human," were all posted on Brown's Facebook wall.

I'm not sure why little Maurice's death has hit me so hard that I finally had to register.

My deepest condolences to Maurice's family and friends. I am so terribly sorry for your tragic loss.

Dearest baby boy Maurice, I am so very sorry your young life was taken in such a violent manner by someone you loved and trusted.

I hope you will rest in peace knowing that many people love you and that we will be fighting to see that justice is served in your memory.

I watched a young boy today enjoying the wonderment of his world - catching raindrops, playing ball, investigating what things do and how they work as his dad smiled while keeping watch over him. Maurice deserved so much more.

Prosecutor Jennifer Nichols delivered the state's opening statement, recounting how officers found the boy's body in the dumpster. "Amidst the common household, everyday garbage, was two little feet," she said. "Little boy weighed 30 pounds. Forty inches long."

She added, "With multiple contusions and abrasions to his head, his injuries caused him to bleed to death internally."

Nichols added that the day before the 3-year-old went missing, Brown and Kanneh had an argument on the phone.

Defendant Maurice Brown told a jury Saturday that after his son died in July 2012 he put clothes on the three-year-old’s lifeless body, carried him to the car, drove to an alley and “threw him in the garbage can”...

Brown said he was planning to take him to the hospital. “When I was driving, my life flashed before my eyes,” he said. “The only thing I could think about was my mama.”

Then, “weird things started popping in my head,” he continued. He turned the car toward a small street about a mile from his apartment. “I was being selfish.... I was driving, I was panicked, I seen this alleyway,” he said. “I threw him in the garbage can... I got him out of my presence, it just felt like a big relief. I was panicking.”
