Victim Anthony Lee Wilson died at Children\u2019s Hospital on Oct. 5, 2014, a week after his second birthday.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Williams beat the child in June 2014, and Wilson allegedly did not report the injuries, allowing her son to suffer with broken bones and bruises.<\/span><\/p>\n

Weeks later, Williams again beat the 22-month-old boy, this time putting him in a coma that he did not survive.<\/span><\/p>\n

Deputy District Attorney Theodore Swanson said the toddler — who lived with his mother and her boyfriend — remained hospitalized in critical condition for 41 days before his Oct. 5, 2014, death.<\/span><\/p>\n

Wilson and Williams were arrested in August 2014 by Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputies and have remained in jail since then.<\/span><\/p>\n

Williams is scheduled to be sentenced July 21. He\u00a0faces a maximum sentence of life in prison.<\/span><\/p>\n
