- Gonzalez and Navarro are scheduled for sentencing on July 25 at Central Justice Center, Santa Ana, each facing up to 12 years in prison and held without bail.
- Tulare County's Department of Child Welfare Services paid a $32 million settlement after failing to protect the boy, who remains quadriplegic and blind from permanent malnutrition damage.
