A New Jersey father says he threw his baby girl over a bridge. 
SAMANTHA HENRYNEW BRUNSWICK, N.J. -- New Jersey's attorney general says a jury reached the correct verdict Friday in convicting a father of murder for tossing his infant daughter off a New Jersey bridge. Attorney General Jeffrey Chiesa said finding Shamsidden Abdur-Raheem guilty of murder was justice for 3-month-old Zara Malani-Lin Abdur-Raheem.
The child's mother, Venetta Benjamin, who testified against Abdur-Raheem, said only "God is good," following the verdict and thanked those who worked on the case.
Abdur-Raheem faces life in prison after his conviction on murder and kidnapping charges in superior court in New Brunswick.The 24-year-old Galloway Township resident showed no reaction to the verdict. His attorney did not comment outside court or immediately return a phone message.
The case prompted changes to the Amber Alert system.
