A Florida man will spend the rest of his life behind bars for beating his 6-months-pregnant girlfriend so badly that he reportedly left shoe tread marks on her skull.

Jay Leonard Rodriguez, 49, was convicted of two counts of second-degree murder on Wednesday in a Hillsborough County courtroom for the beating death of Jennifer Barreras, 25, and her baby who died as a result of the attack. On Thursday he was given two life sentences.

Berreras and her baby, a girl, died minutes after a premature birth, documents indicate.

The victim’s friend, Jessica Gonzalez, testified to seeing Rodriguez pin Barreras against a bedroom wall and punch her repeatedly, according to Tampa Fox affiliate WTVT.

“He was picking her up and slamming her to the ground at least four or five times,” Gonzalez testified. “Stomping on her and stomping on her stomach over and over again.”

The outlet described Barreras as petite.
