HASTINGS, Neb. (AP) — A southern Nebraska man has been convicted again of killing his 2-year-old grandson.

An Adams County jury found 51-year-old Peter Draper guilty on Monday of intentional child abuse resulting in death and intentional child abuse resulting in serious injury.

Draper, of Naponee, in January was granted a new trial by the Nebraska Supreme Court as it reversed his 2013 convictions in the death of Joseph Rinehart Jr. An autopsy concluded the little boy died of head and internal injuries caused by blunt force.

Draper appealed his conviction on the grounds that his wife should not have been allowed to be called as a witness for the prosecution.

His second trial was held in Adams County District Court in Hastings because the Franklin County District Court courtroom was inadequate.
