Anthony Avalos case: Judge to announce verdict today in trial of 10-year-old Lancaster boy's torture-death
A judge is set to announce his verdict Tuesday in the trial of a Lancaster woman and her boyfriend who are charged with torturing and murdering her 10-year-old son, Anthony Avalos, who died in 2018.
The murder count includes the special circumstance allegation of murder involving the infliction of torture. Over Deputy District Attorney Jonathan Hatami's objection, the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office dropped its bid for the death penalty against the two after the election of District Attorney George Gascón, who issued a directive that "a sentence of death is never an appropriate resolution in any case.
The prosecutor noted that the defendants "blamed Anthony" for his injuries by claiming that he had thrown himself on the ground and that he had starved himself. "Together, they were deadly," Hatami told the judge, explaining that Barron was the one who "came up with many of these torture techniques" and that she chose Leiva to act as the enforcer for the discipline used on the boy and two of his half-siblings.
