Jerry Brown’s Pardon List Of Murderers Just Grew By One.

A California man received a death sentence on Thursday for beating, starving, torturing and ultimately killing his girlfriend's 8-year-old son.

Isauro Aguirre, 37, was convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to death. His girlfriend, 34-year-old Pearl Fernandez, was sentenced to life in prison without parole after pleading guilty in February.

Fernandez's son, Gabriel, was killed in a “beyond animalistic” way in 2013.

Prosecutors said he was repeatedly beaten, shot with a BB gun, forced to eat cat feces and slept while gagged and bound inside a small cabinet. According to Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge George Lomeli, the child once had his teeth knocked out with a bat.

Gabriel also suffered a fractured skull, broken ribs and burns across his body.

“It goes without saying that the conduct was horrendous and inhumane and nothing short of evil,” Lomeli said in court on Thursday. “It's beyond animalistic because animals know how to take care of their young.”
