The state Court of Appeals has voided the most serious conviction against Stephen Casaus after finding that prosecutors were not able to prove his failure to seek medical help for 9-year-old Omaree Varela resulted in the boy’s death.
Last week’s opinion could mean that Casaus will see 18 years cut from the 30-year sentence he received in the case surrounding the death of Varela, his stepson, in December 2013.
At trial, Casaus’ defense team said he was in the bathroom using heroin when the boy’s mother beat him to death, but a jury found Casaus guilty of child abuse recklessly caused or permitted resulting in death, along with four lesser charges. His remaining convictions were affirmed by the court.
Along with child abuse resulting in death, Casaus was found guilty of tampering with evidence, child abuse, and two counts of bribery of a witness.
Casaus has also been sentenced to nine years in a state court trafficking case, in addition to a 10-year sentence for a federal firearms conviction, according to court documents.
Synthia Varela-Casaus, his mother, pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and lesser charges and was sentenced to 40 years in prison. She told reporters shortly after her arrest that she kicked the 9-year-old “the wrong way.”
I know this comment is ancient history, but Jesus Christ something is horribly wrong here "Of the last 300 case workers hired by CYFD, 293 have left " The workplace culture of this department must be a living hell.How many are there supposed to be, and how long do they stay on average before high-tailing it out of there? Sounds like the place has a revolving door.
