Maya Hernandez appears in court during the jury\u2019s verdict on De. 18, 2025. (Court TV)<\/p>\n

Maya Hernandez<\/a> was charged with second-degree murder, involuntary manslaughter and two counts of child abuse, stemming from the June 29 death of her 1-year-old son, Amillio Gutierrez, who prosecutors say died after being left in a hot car while Hernandez attended a cosmetic appointment. Her 2-year-old son survived.<\/p>\n

After two days of deliberations, the jury convicted her of child abuse, while deadlocking on second-degree murder and involuntary manslaughter.<\/p>\n

Sentencing is set for Jan. 12 on the child abuse charge. Prosecutors did not immediately say whether or not they\u2019ll seek to retry Hernandez on the murder and manslaughter charges.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Posted at 1:21 PM, December 18, 2025 BAKERSFIELD, Calif.
