A California father who murdered his seven-month-old baby and staged a fake kidnapping to cover it up has been jailed for 25 years to life, in a case that has horrified the United States and reignited debate over how the justice system handles child-abuse offenders.
Jake Haro, 32, was sentenced in Riverside County after pleading guilty to second-degree murder, assault causing injury to a child and filing a false police report. The sentencing exposed a grim pattern of violence and failure that left baby Emmanuel Haro dead and his body still missing.
