Judge Lashes Out At Couple Who Killed 8-Year-Old Gabriel Fernandez

The judge said their conduct was "horrendous, inhumane and nothing short of evil." Judge George Lomeli sentenced Isauro Aguirre to death and sentenced his mother to life in prison without the possibility of parole. Amy Johnson reports.

Omg horrific! I can't imagine how helpless the teacher who reported it feels, too! It's bad enough when nobody helps but it's worse when people try to help and the child is failed! Another case of a skeezy woman choosing a depraved, abusive man over her own child! Disgusting! When I got a divorce I didn't even date for over 7 years! I didn't want to risk bringing a man around my son. Even if he were a good man and my son loved him, if it didn't work out it would break my son's heart and that's not fair either. I don't feel sorry for that disgusting woman in any way. Life in prison is better than she deserves! I hope like hell that man doesn't have his sentence commuted to life on an an appeal or something.😡 Even if the death penalty is applied, he's probably got another 20 to 35 years of life to live before it happens! A lot more than that baby was given. 😓😓😓😢😢😢😢 It never ceases to amaze me how hard a sadistic child killer would fight to avoid the death penalty. Cowards one and all!
