Jacob Andrew Barajas shackled his nephew prior to the beating by 31-year-old Robert Wilson who inflicted trauma that left the child with bruises over most of his body and brain injuries that proved fatal.
The boy died July 5 at Children’s National Medical Center in Washington, D.C., after he was taken off a ventilator.
During the trial, Assistant State’s Attorney Sarah Mollett-Gaumer said Gracia’s brother Jacob Barajas, who had been the one to initially call 911, emphasized: “every single decision … was something we all decided and agreed upon,” Mollett-Gaumer said.
The court heard that Barajas called 911 after Garcia became unconscious. But when a Community Rescue Service ambulance arrived at about 5 p.m., Oriana Garcia allegedly turned the crew away, saying her son was congested, but was getting better.
It was not until four or more hours later that Wilson called for an ambulance, and the unresponsive boy was taken to Meritus Medical Center near Hagerstown. There, it was determined that the extent of his injuries required taking him to the Children’s National Medical Center.
Barajas also said, Mollett-Gaumer added, that boy was often handcuffed for several hours after previous accusations he had stolen food.
