TROY, N.Y. -- The Adrian Thomas murder trial continues in Rensselaer County Court where jurors continued to watch parts of a nine-hour taped confession. Thomas is accused of killing his 4-month old son by throwing him and shaking him.

The video shows an officer talking with Thomas. At times, he gets emotional and cries. He said how terrible he feels and that his wife's family blames him for everything.

Thomas' defense team has argued their client was pressured by police to make that confession last year. They say their client is innocent and medical experts can prove the baby died of an unrelated medical condition called septic shock.

But prosecutors contend Thomas was upset after losing his job and took his frustration out on his child.

Thomas is charged with second-degree murder.
