LOS ANGELES — A UCLA Mattel Children’s Hospital nurse testified Monday that a woman accused of joining her then-boyfriend in physically abusing the Lancaster woman’s 10-year-old son appeared to fake being emotional and was in the waiting room instead of at her child’s bedside when the boy died of his injuries in 2018.
involving Anthony’s June 2018 death, along with two counts of child abuse involving two of the boy’s half-siblings, identified in court only as “Destiny O.” and “Rafael O.” In other testimony, Helen Withers, a forensics services nurse at Antelope Valley Medical Center, told the judge that her facility was the first to which the boy was brought and that he was obviously malnourished and had bruises all over his body.
Barron also said that Anthony told her he thought he was gay and she said she loved him regardless, according to Withers. Prior to the former sheriff’s Homicide Investigator Omar Miranda taking the stand, Deputy District Attorney Saeed Teymouri spoke to relatives sitting in the front row of the gallery to warn them that a PowerPoint presentation of the boy’s autopsy photos would be shown during the testimony of Miranda, who now works in the Special Enforcement Bureau handling tacticial operations.
