About this episode
California mother of two Maya Hernandez was sentenced to 15 years in prison this week in the death of her 1-year-old son, Amilio Gutierrez on June 29, 2025. Prosecutors argued Hernandez knowingly left her two children in a sweltering vehicle while getting a cosmetic procedure, while the defense called it a tragic mistake. After a deadlocked jury and partial mistrial, Hernandez pleaded no contest to involuntary manslaughter. Law&Crime’s Jesse Weber breaks down what happened and how the case reached its controversial conclusion.PLEASE SUPPORT THE SHOW: If you or someone you know used the Doordash app between 2023 and 2025, you can visit https://www.forthepeople.com/sidebardoordash to submit a claim.HOST:Jesse Weber: https://twitter.com/jessecordweberLAW&CRIME SIDEBAR PRODUCTION:YouTube Management - Bobby SzokeVideo Editing - Michael Deininger, Christina O'Shea, Alex Ciccarone, & Jay CruzScript Writing & Producing - Savannah Williamson & Juliana BattagliaGuest Booking - Alyssa Fisher & Diane KayeSocial Media Management - Vanessa BeinSTAY UP-TO-DATE WITH THE LAW&CRIME NETWORK:Watch Law&Crime Network on YouTubeTV: https://bit.ly/3td2e3yWhere To Watch Law&Crime Network: https://bit.ly/3akxLK5Sign Up For Law&Crime's Daily Newsletter: https://bit.ly/LawandCrimeNewsletterRead Fascinating Articles From Law&Crime Network: https://bit.ly/3td2IqoLAW&CRIME NETWORK SOCIAL MEDIA:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lawandcrimeTwitter: https://twitter.com/LawCrimeNetworkFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/lawandcrimeTwitch: https://www.twitch.tv/lawandcrimenetworkTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@lawandcrimeSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy
