Gabriel Fernandez's mother again seeking resentencing in 8-year-old son's torture death
The mother of Gabriel Fernandez has filed court papers again seeking resentencing in connection with her guilty plea to the first-degree murder of her 8-year-old son.
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.
