Opening statements will begin Wednesday in the trial of a Lancaster woman and her boyfriend accused of torturing and murdering her 10-year-old son.In gruesome detail, prosecutors on Wednesday spelled out a series of allegations of torture and child abuse that they say led to the death of Anthony Avalos at the hands of his own mother and her boyfriend.
Food and water were often withheld from him. At other times, he would be force fed peanut butter and hot sauce.His face was rubbed in a urine-soaked carpet. On June 18, one of the children reported seeing Leiva pinning Anthony by the neck against the wall. He let go and Anthony's body, appearing lifeless, fell to the floor, with the impact making a loud noise.The prosecutor said Anthony was left unmoving on the floor for two days before anyone called police.
An emergency-room doctor said Anthony was so severely dehydrated that his kidneys had shut down. He had no chance of recovery, but even if he had somehow, he would have to be on dialysis for the rest of his life.The defense attorney for Leiva also gave an opening statement on Wednesday, while Barron's attorney deferred on giving an opening for now.
