Thank you Thank you for this update. Now to make sure Brandon Lee Cervera pays for his part in the death of his son. May that 3 month old baby Miranda breastfed throughout trial be raised by loving people and never have to suffer at the hands of her parents.

“It was harmful to my client and to her case in chief in that her experts were not able to review them,” defense attorney Anthony Cantrell said. “Importantly, the jury didn’t get to review those records.”

The state argued that the defense had those records as they were admitted in trial, and they didn’t do their jobs in obtaining them.

After hearing both sides, 186th District Court Judge Kristina Escalona denied the request for a retrial, stating the defense didn’t prove what they needed in the hearing to grant it.

Casarez still has an appeal pending with the Fourth Court of Appeals.

Brandon Cervera’s trial date has not been set, but he is scheduled to appear in court in a week

Woman denied retrial in stepson starvation death case

A woman convicted of the starvation death of her stepson was back in court on Tuesday to ask for a retrial.

What a lot of gall, her asking for for a re-trial.

The trial began Monday for a Bexar County man accused of starving his young boy and forcing him to beg for food, three years after the 4-year-old died at a hospital.

unfortunately the only news org that seems to be consistently following the trial is the San Antonio Express and they are paywalled so I cannot access and share any further info about how the trial is going.

Prosecution, defense disagree whether 4-year-old boy was starved to death

How did a 4-year-old boy die and whose to blame for it? Those questions were the focus of opening arguments Tuesday in the trial of a man charged with starving his son to death.

"Whose" to blame? Agh.
