A Palmdale woman and her boyfriend were found guilty of abusing and eventually fatally beating her 23-month-old son in 2014, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office announced Tuesday.
Brandon Jerel Williams, 27, was found guilty of first-degree murder after he hit the child multiple times in the head over several months, prosecutors said.
The boys mother, Rosie Lee Wilson, 23, was convicted of second-degree murder after she did not seek medical attention for her son.
The boy was eventually taken to a hospital, but died.
Williams was also found guilty of torture and assault on a child causing death.
Wilson, meanwhile, was also convicted of one count of child abuse, officials said.
The defendants are expected to be sentenced on July 21. Williams faces a sentence of 32 years to life in prison, while Wilson faces 15 years to life.
The case was investigated by the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.
