The charges stemmed from the death of Xander Villalobos.
The toddler died in October of 2021.
A coroner determined he suffered a lacerated liver and injuries to his spinal cord.
Moton testified he found Xander was not moving and tried life-saving measures — then shook the toddler.
He was the only witness in his own murder trial.
