Mesa Police responded to a home early Sunday morning for a domestic violence call. When they arrived, they found a badly hurt 8-year-old boy, who has special needs. His mother, 36-year-old Erica Encinas, reportedly told officers she tried to kill her son multiple times.
During an initial court hearing Tuesday, prosecutor Ashley Stetson told the judge about the allegations against Encinas in graphic detail.
“First, she tried to hit him over the head with a rock,” Stetson said. “That did not kill the victim, so then, she tried to smother him with a trash bag. That did not work, Your Honor. Then, she tried to choke him with a rosary.”
