At only three-years-old Alizandra Jasso did the unspeakable crime of having an accident in her pants.
The only punishment that such a crime could warrant was Alizandra being slammed against a toilet knocking her unconscious, then slammed into the shower door and onto the floor by her mother's boyfriend, Nicholas Grijalva. After such brutality he threw her on the bed and said “she was going to die.” He then cleaned the blood off her face and took her clothes off her before calling paramedics,
Her mother, Jaclyn Legarda told police she heard Alizandra say "no daddy no" before she was rendered unconscious. She did what any good mother would do in this situation and initially agreed to lie and day the child fell.
Alizandra died a few days later in an El Paso hospital.
Grijalva was sentenced to life in prison with the possibility for parole in 30 years.
Legarda was sentenced to 10 years and will spend at least 85 percent of her sentence, or 8 1/2 years, in prison.
