A Lancaster woman accused of killing her son, Anthony Avalos, inflicted some of the same type of punishment on her children that had been used against her by her mother and stepfather years earlier, the defendant's siblings testified.
A Lancaster woman charged along with her boyfriend with the torture and murder of her 10-year-old son inflicted some of the same type of punishment on her children that had been used against her by her mother and stepfather years earlier, the defendant's brother and sister testified Thursday.
Heather Barron, and her boyfriend, Kareem Leiva, are accused of killing 10-year-old Anthony Avalos in 2018 after years of horrific abuse. Barron and Leiva have pleaded not guilty to torturing and murdering Anthony. They are also charged with two counts of child abuse involving two of the boy's half-siblings.
In a courtroom Thursday, Barron's brother and sister took the stand and described the abuse they and Barron suffered as children at the hands of their own mother and stepfather. David Barron and Crystal Diuguid told Superior Court Judge Sam Ohta -- who is hearing the non-jury trial of Heather Barron and Kareem Leiva - that they warned their sister against inflicting the same kind of punishment they had faced as children.
