A man accused of conspiring with his girlfriend to savagely torture and murder her eight-year-old son wanted the boy dead because he thought he was gay, a prosecutor has said.
Jon Hatami, a prosecutor for Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office, said during opening statements on Monday that 32-year-old Isauro Aguirre, of Palmdale, committed a series of brutal acts against Gabriel Fernandez.
He is accused of dousing the boy in pepper spray, forcing him to eat his own feces and vomit, putting cigarettes out on his skin, beating him with a bat and shooting him with a BB gun alongside the boy’s mother Pearl Fernandez.
