BRUNSWICK, Ga. -- Family members of a slain 6-year-old Brunswick boy did not hold back their emotion as attorneys defending one of the men accused of murder filed more than 50 motions in the case on Thursday.

After a week of searching for missing Christopher Barrios, the boy's body was found in woods three miles from his Glynn County home.

A registered sexual offender and his two parents were arrested and charged with abduction, sexual assault and murder in the case. The father, David Edenfield, 58, showed little emotion as his attorney presented more than 50 motions on Wednesday at a hearing.

Superior Court Judge Stephen G. Scarlett did not immediately rule on most of the motions, including keeping court records closed and security issues regarding the trial.

Christopher's family attended the hearing, as they have all proceedings involving the death of the boy.

"I'd like to put a little of my vengeance on him," said Sue Rodriguez, Christopher's grandmother. "I'd like to beat him down like a dog and treat him like he did our baby."

Christopher’s father said he believes David Edenfield may have been the driving force behind the crime.

On Monday, attorneys for the son, George Edenfield, presented 86 motions to the judge, including asking that the state not request the death penalty and arguing that the media should be barred from pretrial hearings on potential evidence.

Christopher's family just wants to make sure their pride and joy isn't forgotten.

"That's justice -- for him to get what he gave our baby," Rodriguez said. "He's a grown man... that baby couldn't fight."
