An Indiana man has been given a 65-year sentence for abusing and starving his 12-year-old son to death!
Monroe Circuit Judge Christine Talley Haseman said last week that nothing could justify the physical abuse and withholding of food and water that Luis Eduardo Posso Jr. inflicted on his pre-teen child.
Before issuing her decision, Haseman detailed the brutal treatment that Eduardo Posso endured and showed photographs of the boy taken just a few years apart.
By the time of his death in 2019, although he was 12, Eduardo was the size of “a typical 4-year-old” and had been punched, slapped, kicked, shocked with a dog collar, and chained up by his father and stepmother, Haseman said.
Posso’s behavior was “incomprehensible, heinous, and cruel,” she said.
Posso pleaded guilty to murder in June, and prosecutors agreed not to seek life in prison without parole, along with dismissing charges of neglect, criminal confinement, and battery.
His wife, Dayana Medina-Flores, pleaded guilty to murder and received the same sentence in 2021 tied to her stepson’s death.
The Herald-Times reports that people sentenced to the maximum 65-year prison sentence for murder in Indiana typically serve three-fourths of their sentence or about 49 years.
Posso’s attorney, public defender Kyle Duffer, said he would appeal the judge’s sentence.
How could any attorney appeal this heinous crime. He, his wife and the attorney should spend the rest of their lives in prison or get the death penalty
