Mother Heather Barron and her boyfriend Kareem Leiva are charged with murdering and torturing 10-year-old Anthony Avalos back in 2018. Witnesses told court Monday the boy looked dead and 'like a cancer patient' before his death.

Barron, 33, and Leiva, 37, now face a maximum of life in prison without the possibility of parole if they are convicted as charged.

Under cross-examination by one of Barron's attorneys, Kinsner acknowledged that he had never met the boy's mother before and doesn't know how she reacts. Veteran Los Angeles County firefighter Neal Eggers testified that the boy appeared "very skinny, like malnourished" and had bruises in different stages of healing. He said paramedics unsuccessfully tried to revive the boy, who was never able to resume breathing on his own, noting that he had never seen a child before in that condition.

"She's been torturing her kids for a long period of time, and once defendant Leiva came into the picture it turned deadly," he said. She told investigators that the boy said he might be gay and that she responded that she would love him no matter what because he was her "baby." The defense lawyer questioned the accounts of the boy's half-siblings, whose testimony he said has changed over time.

Anthony Davis heated over no-foul call in Lakers' loss: 'The refs were bad'Anthony Davis criticizes the referees after a missed foul call costs the Lakers a chance at a win in a 125-121 overtime loss to the Boston Celtics. I don't know what the refs think they saw, but even a visually-impaired person could have seen that was a foul & the league will do nothing to right this unconscionable wrong. They never do. Should be mad he let 6MOTY click him down to only 16 points. Imagine being this guy and playing for one of the worst teams in the league and complaining about a call.
