(AP\/Staff) &#8211; A South Dakota man has been found guilty of second-degree murder and other charges in the death of the 2-year-old son of Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson.  A Lincoln County jury deliberated more than five hours Tuesday in the trial of 29-year-old Joseph Patterson before the verdict was announced. The deliberations followed two weeks of testimony about the October 2013 death of Tyrese Robert Ruffin, the son of Patterson&#8217;s girlfriend and the former Palestine football standout.   Patterson&#8217;s defense maintained that the child choked on a fruit snack. A doctor testified that autopsy photos indicate injuries consistent with a child being given CPR.  Prosecutors argued Patterson assaulted Tyrese. Patterson could face a life prison sentence.   Peterson has said he found out Tyrese was his son only about two months before the child&#8217;s death.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CANTON, S.D.
