Man gets 40-year prison term for starved child
By Craig Kapitan - Express-NewsA San Antonio man was sentenced to 40 years in prison Tuesday for the severe starvation of a 4-year-old whose sole meal each day usually consisted of Cheerios.
Luis Valenzuela, 27, and fiancee Robin Palafos, 24, were arrested in February after they brought the child to a clinic for vaccinations. The girl weighed 23 pounds at that time, authorities said.
