I looked on Carmen's court documents - and here it says - thru all her 16 counts:

Seq No. Charge Charge Type Disposition
1 MURDER 1ST DEGREE FELONY ADJUDGED GUILTY
2 CHLD AB/AGG/GRT HARM FELONY ADJUDGED GUILTY

So - not really sure WHY she has court dates as Jorge does.

Miami-Dade County, Fla. – The trial of the man accused in one of South Florida’s most horrific child abuse cases has stretched over 13 years.

Police found Nubia Barahona dead in the truck of her adoptive father, Jorge Barahona, then 53, on the side of the road on Interstate 95 in Palm Beach County in February of 2011.

Investigators said Nubia’s twin brother, Victor Barahona, was found convulsing from chemicals inside the truck, while Nubia was pronounced dead and wrapped up in plastic in the back of it.

Thirteen years later, Carmen Barahona, the mother of the twins, has taken a plea in return for testifying against her husband in his death penalty trial, a case that is still nowhere near trial.

Judges and attorneys have changed for years as Jorge Barahona continues to ask for postponements.

“It makes no sense,” said Neumann. “Everyone I talk to can’t believe it’s still going on.”

Tuesday’s court hearing about whether Jorge Barahona is competent to stand trial was again reset. He faces the death penalty if convicted.

“Just because now he says he’s sorry that he mutilated and tortured two children, doesn’t mean he gets to be sorry and take a lesser plea,” said Levine.


@PayrollNerd - unfortunately Miami-Dade county will not let me access it today - if you could see when his next hearing is for me? TIA! :)
