The sentencing hearing is underway Thursday, June 7, 2018, in Palmdale for Isauro Aguirre, left, and Pearl Sinthia Fernandez, right, in the beating death of her 8-year-old son, Gabriel. LOS ANGELES — A judge today rejected a bid Tuesday for re-sentencing by a Palmdale woman who pleaded guilty to the first-degree murder of her 8-year-old son, who was routinely beaten, starved, forced to sleep in a closet and tortured until his death eight years ago.
Los Angeles Superior Court Judge George G. Lomeli said he carefully reviewed Fernandez’s petition for re-sentencing along with the overall record of the case and concluded that she is “not entitled to re-sentencing relief.” A group of people who gathered outside court with signs including ones that read “Justice for Gabriel” and “No Mercy for Child Killers” cheered when Deputy District Attorney Jonathan Hatami announced that Fernandez’s petition had been denied. The prosecutor had objected to the woman’s request and urged the judge to deny the petition.
“You want to say that the conduct was animalistic, but that would be wrong because even animals know how to take care of their young … It’s beyond animalistic,” Lomeli said then, noting that he hoped the two defendants would wake up in the middle of the night thinking about what they had done to the boy.
During Aguirre’s trial, prosecutors told jurors that the boy was routinely beaten, shot with a BB gun, forced to eat cat feces and sleep inside a small cabinet while gagged and bound.
