A 24-year-old woman pleaded no contest today to killing her baby son who died from multiple injuries three years ago, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office announced.
Calixta Landa of Los Angeles entered her plea to one count of second-degree murder. She is expected to be sentenced to 15 years to life in state prison.
On July 14, 2016, family members saw Sebastian L., who was 19 days old, limp and pale in his bassinette. The baby, who had brain and neck injuries, was taken to a nearby hospital where he died two days later.
The boy died from injuries inflicted by his mother, the prosecutor said.
No further details were released.
