BRUNSWICK - Jurors in the trial of a Georgia man charged with molesting and killing a 6-year-old boy on Friday saw grisly crime scene and morgue photos of the young victim's body.

Several jurors recoiled or quickly turned away after seeing images of Christopher Michael Barrios' naked and decomposed body, which police found wrapped in trash bags and dumped near a road on March 15, 2007, a week after the boy was killed.

David Edenfield, 61, faces the death penalty if he's convicted of murder. Prosecutors say Edenfield and his grown son molested Christopher inside their mobile home before choking the boy to death, while Edenfield's wife watched.

Edenfield is the first of the three defendants to stand trial. The Edenfields lived across the street from Christopher's grandmother.

The jury saw the photographs as Raymond Sarro, the lead Glynn County police investigator in the case, testified for a third day Friday. Sarro read from a transcript of a March 13, 2007, interview he conducted with Edenfield, who blamed his 34-year-old son, George Edenfield, for abducting and killing the child.

The elder Edenfield denied seeing the child in his home, but said he heard his son and wife talking about the boy in a bedroom as Edenfield sat in his living room recliner.

"George said he didn't know if he hurt Christopher or not but guessed that he did hurt him, and there was a problem," Edenfield said, according to a transcript Sarro read to the jury.

Jurors have already seen a videotape of a later interview Edenfield gave to police a day after the boy's body was found, in which he confessed to watching his son have sex with Christopher and rubbing his own partially undressed body against the boy. He said he placed his own hands on top of his son's as they choked Christopher to death.

Edenfield told Sarro during his confession: "I just wanted to see what it would feel like, I guess ... to choke somebody."

Christopher lived in a Brunswick mobile home park where his father and grandmother had homes. He would pass the Edenfields' trailer when walking between them.

The Edenfields moved into the mobile home park just a few months before his death. The family had been forced to move because George Edenfield was a convicted child molester. The family's previous home was close to a playground, a violation of Georgia's sex offender registry law.

Court records show that David Edenfield pleaded guilty to a charge of incest in 1994, when he was accused of having sex with an adult relative who was not his son.
