A mother in Palmdale, California was sentenced to life in prison without parole after her son was tortured and killed in 2013 because her boyfriend thought he was gay.
Prosecutors first accused Isauro Aguirre of torturing and killing eight-year-old Gabriel Fernandez last year. He admitted to murder, but denied the torture.
UPDATE:: Palmdale abuse case: Jury recommends death penalty in killing of 8-year-old boyA Palmdale man was convicted of first-degree murder Wednesday for the torture-killing of his girlfriend’s 8-year-old son, whose agony-filled life shocked the community and led to criminal charges against social workers accused of ignoring his plight.
A jury recommended on Wednesday that Isauro Aguirre, convicted of the torture and murder of an 8-year-old Palmdale boy, be sentenced to death.
Last month, Aguirre was found guilty of first-degree murder in the death of his girlfriend's 8-year-old son, Gabriel Fernandez.
The jury found him guilty of first-degree murder and also guilty in the special circumstance allegation of murder involving the infliction of torture.
Jurors then had a choice between recommending life in prison or the death penalty.
Isauro Aguirre, 37, faces a possible death sentence for the killing of Gabriel Fernandez, who was routinely beaten, shot with a BB gun, fed cat feces and forced to sleep while gagged and bound inside a small cabinet. In addition to convicting Aguirre of murder, the seven-woman, five-man jury also found true a special circumstance allegation of murder involving the infliction of torture.
The jury deliberated for about 5 1/2 hours over two days before reaching its verdict late Wednesday morning.
