The girl and boy said they had been forced to undergo punishment and saw their mother’s boyfriend repeatedly dropping their half-brother on the bedroom floor shortly before his death.

The murder count includes the special circumstance allegation of murder involving the infliction of torture. Over the objection of Deputy District Attorney Jonathan Hatami, 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.
He acknowledged that he didn’t initially tell police about what had happened because he was trying to protect his mother, but testified that he didn’t want to cover it up any longer “now that I see what she did.” When asked if she remembered any times that Anthony had thrown himself on the ground — as Barron repeatedly told police during two lengthy interviews, the girl responded, “No, he would never do that.”
The teen said she never questioned her mother about the punishment that was being handed down, saying that it was “probably because I was afraid.”“Are you mad at her?” the prosecutor said.“Yes,” the 13-year-old girl responded.In interviews with Los Angeles County sheriff’s detectives after Anthony was taken first to Antelope Valley Hospital and then to UCLA Mattel Children’s Hospital, Barron maintained that she “didn’t do nothing.
She maintained that Leiva “didn’t touch Anthony” and said that “no one did anything to him,” but said Leiva wasn’t supposed to be at her apartment because it is a low-income facility and had been threatened by the managers that she would be kicked out if anybody kept coming over. In his opening statement of the trial, Teymouri told the judge that Barron and Leiva tortured and abused Anthony for two weeks before his death, while an attorney for Leiva countered that his client should be acquitted of murder.
The boy had “new and old injuries — literally from head to toe,” the deputy district attorney said, showing a photo of the boy while he was alive and then in a video from the hospital in which some of his injuries were depicted. The defense lawyer questioned the accounts of the boy’s half-siblings, whose testimony he said has changed over time.
