""They should spend the rest of their life in prison for what they did to little Gabriel," said Deputy Dist. Atty. Jonathan Hatami, who prosecuted the case against them. "He didn't do anything wrong. He just wanted them to love him, and they tortured and murdered him.""
"Though Lomeli denied both her 2021 and 2026 petitions, she is allowed to continue filing similar requests in the future, a notion that is deeply unsettling for Gabriel's relatives."
Pearl Fernandez, convicted of murdering her son Gabriel, has been denied resentencing for the second time. Gabriel's relatives expressed frustration over a new state law that allows her to continually challenge her conviction, hindering their closure. During a court hearing, Gabriel's cousins advocated against her resentencing. Judge George G. Lomeli rejected her petition, ensuring she remains in prison. Deputy District Attorney Jonathan Hatami emphasized the need for justice, stating that Gabriel deserved love, not torture and murder.
