BEND, Ore. – After nearly a month of often emotional testimony, it took a Deschutes County jury less than a day to find a Redmond couple guilty of murder by abuse and other charges Friday in the 2016 starvation death of their 5-year-old daughter, Maliyha Hope Garcia.
Estevan Garcia, 35, and Sacora Horn-Garcia, 33, were charged with murder by abuse and two counts of criminal mistreatment in the girl’s death, just a few days before Christmas. She weighed just 24 pounds at the time, and officials ruled her death was caused by starvation.
In a packed courtroom Friday afternoon, the husband and wife both were convicted unanimously by jurors of two counts of murder by abuse and two counts each of first-degree criminal mistreatment, one count for withholding food from the girl and the other for withholding medical care.

Just give me 5 minutes alone with those two and i will save the taxpayers a lot of money
Could just throw them in a pit and starve them nice and slow… karma baby!
Indeed a sad story
Both these sick fvcks need to be sterilized and should be facing the death penalty
But in today’s rational The mother will be pitied for her mental issues, booze and drug addiction when in fact she should be crucified for her ignorance They both will do the minimum required time and be out popping out more kids to abuse
Both deserve a fate worse than they provided for this little girl
There is no way any Canadian prosecutor would even lay a murder charge in a case like this, let alone get a conviction. A manslaughter charge is possible but unlikely. Probably a charge of “failing to provide the necessities” or something equally ridiculous.
