GUILTY CA - Gabriel Fernandez, 8, tortured to death, Palmdale, 22 May 2013

Poor baby. I cried more than once in the several times I’ve watched the documentary. I don’t know why I torture myself. I think it’s what I do best sometimes. I love this kid. He seemed so sweet.I figure if he can suffer through it, I can watch the horror I see and feel the love I do. I feel the twinges of pain just sitting with myself and thinking back right now. It’s a painful stillness… RIP Gabriel.

Pearl Sinthia Fernandez, now 42, was sentenced in March 2018 to life in prison without the possibility of parole for the May 2013 killing of her son, Gabriel, but has filed two re-sentencing petitions contending that she could not now be convicted of murder because of recent changes in state law that affect defendants in some murder cases.

the latest petition alleges that “[Fernandez] has comprehension issues and documented verbal comprehension of a second-grade student” and was under the mistaken impression that her case would be going to appeal when she signed the plea agreement.

It was a case that shocked Los Angeles County. Eight-year-old Gabriel Fernandez died in 2013 after enduring months of abuse by his mother Pearl Feranandez and her boyfriend Isauro Aguirre. While they both committed heinous acts against the boy — putting out cigarettes on him, shooting him in the face with a BB gun, making him eat cat litter and feces and forcing him to sleep in a locked cabinet, often while gagged and bound — Aguirre was the one who administered the final, fatal blows.

Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office prosecutor Scott Yang called Aguirre “the muscle behind the relationship” in Netflix’s new six-part docu-series “The Trials of Gabriel Fernandez.”
“He was the person who, I believe, Pearl Fernandez had do most of her dirty deeds,” Yang said.

Fernandez alleges that "the petitioner has comprehension issues and documented verbal comprehension of a second grade student" and that she was "mistakenly under the impression that her case would then be going to appeal" when she signed the plea agreement before her 2018 conviction.

Hatami told CNS that he plans to once again "fight to make sure this doesn't happen." A hearing has been set for March 30.

In 2018, Pearl Fernandez pleaded guilty to first-degree murder in the death of her 8-year-old son, Gabriel Fernandez. The case drew national attention, was later the subject of a Netflix documentary series, and led to the dismissal of several employees within the LA County Department of Children and Family Services.
According to court records and trial evidence, Gabriel experienced prolonged abuse prior to his death in 2013, including starvation, severe physical violence, being shot with a BB gun, and periods of confinement.
Fernandez is now seeking resentencing for the second time. In response, a petition with thousands of signatures is urging the Los Angeles Superior Court to deny the request. A hearing on the resentencing bid is scheduled for March 30.

BEST usage of my time today signing this petition! The way this little boy was tortured & murdered STILL haunts me today and I will never forget it. I can't believe she has the GALL to try to get resentenced. She should be forever hanging her head in shame like the monster she is. I am speechless. Unbelievable!!!

Thank you @tlcya for posting this and giving us the link to sign.

I don't believe she will get a resentencing. Already denied once before.
