A mother was sentenced to 25-years-to-life in prison Friday for the death of her special needs son, Law & Crime reported.
Veronica Aguilar faced the consequences of her actions and pleaded no contest to assault on 11-year-old Yonatan Daniel Aguilar, per Law & Crime. The young boy suffered years of neglect and abuse, ultimately leading to his untimely demise. During the sentencing, Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Larry Paul Fidler remarked on the “terror and fear” Yonatan must have endured in his final moments, according to City News Service.
The case has drawn significant attention, with retired Los Angeles Police Detective Moses Castillo expressing a poignant sentiment in court, suggesting that if Yonatan could speak, he might have said, “I love you” and “I forgive you,” to his mother, per City News Service.
