Murder charges for children’s deaths in California
Monterey County District Attorney Dean Flippo said autopsies had determined that the children — ages three and six — died around Thanksgiving of ongoing physical abuse.
The charges are imminent and will include a special circumstance of torture, which Flippo said could bring the death penalty, if the defendants, Tami Huntsman, 39, and her 17-year-old male companion, are convicted. The teenager was not identified and the relationships between Huntsman and the children remained unclear.
