Anthony Avalos' Mother and Boyfriend Receive Life Sentences for His Murder.

Heather Barron and her boyfriend Kareem Leiva have been sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole for the murder of Barron's 10-year-old son, Anthony Avalos. The sentencing hearing was emotional, with 17 relatives and witnesses testifying about the pain caused by Barron's actions. Barron wept as she was repeatedly called a "monster" by those who once called her family. The sentencing provided some closure for the family, but also left them trying to reconcile the person they once knew with the murderer she became.

Sentencing for Anthony Avalos' mother and boyfriend in torture-murder case.

Heather Maxine Barron and Kareem Ernesto Leiva are facing life in prison without parole for the torture and murder of Barron's 10-year-old son, Anthony Avalos. The two were convicted of first-degree murder and torture in a non-jury trial after waiving their right to a jury. The judge found that the couple "worked together to abuse Anthony" and that the boy died from severe dehydration and blunt force trauma to the head. The two were also convicted of two counts of child abuse involving the boy's half-siblings.
