A jury in San Antonio is deliberating the fate of Brandon Cervera, who is accused of starving his 4-year-old son Benji to death in 2021, with the prosecution presenting harrowing evidence of the child's condition. In Arizona, two men are awaiting a verdict in a trial linked to a polygamous child sex abuse ring, where they allegedly aided a self-proclaimed prophet in exploiting minors, with testimonies detailing horrific abuses. Meanwhile, jurors in Miami are considering the case against former Florida Senator Frank Artiles, accused of orchestrating an election conspiracy involving a ghost candidate to mislead voters and impact a tight race. Prosecutors allege that Artiles offered $50,000 to Alex Rodriguez to run as an independent candidate, with the defense arguing it was a business loan unrelated to the campaign. The outcomes in these cases could lead to significant prison sentences, highlighting issues of child welfare and election integrity.
