A woman and her boyfriend, who tortured and killed her 10-year-old son over five days pouring hot sauce on his face and making other kids hurt him, have been sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
Heather Barron, 33, and Kareem Leiva, 37, were convicted by the judge in a non-jury trial of first-degree murder involving torture of Anthony Avalos.
They also were convicted of child abuse of two other children in their Lancaster home.
