Rosie Lee Wilson’<\/strong>s boyfriend, Brandon Jerel Williams<\/strong>, 27, was convicted last Friday of first-degree murder, torture and assault in the Oct. 5, 2014, death of her son, Anthony<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

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

The toddler was beaten by Williams in July 2014 while Wilson was at a karaoke bar, and she failed to seek medical care or report what had happened, according to Deputy District Attorney Jon Hatami.<\/p>\n

The toddler was beaten again the following month by Williams in an attack witnessed by Wilson’s 3 1\/2-year-old daughter while Wilson was at a karaoke bar again in August 2014, the prosecutor said.<\/p>\n

The couple took the boy to the hospital about 12:30 p.m. the following day, and claimed that he had been injured in a fall, the prosecutor said.<\/p>\n

A nurse testified that the boy had caked-on make-up and baby powder all over him, with nurses noticing bruising when it was taken off, Hatami said.<\/p>\n

Two doctors testified that the boy would have had a good chance of surviving his injuries if he had been taken to the hospital right away, according to the prosecutor.<\/p>\n

The toddler remained hospitalized in critical condition for 41 days before he died.<\/p>\n

Wilson, now 23, is facing at least 15 years to life in state prison in connection with her son’s death, while Williams is facing 32 years to life in state prison.<\/p>\n

The two are due back in a Lancaster courtroom for sentencing July 21.<\/p>\n
