Prosecutors didn't specifically tell jurors Tuesday that Sarah Mascorro Sifuentes, 34, was the person who beat to death a baby in her care four years ago.
But at the very least she should have sought medical attention for 22-month-old Cyleste Gonzales much sooner than she did, they contended as Sifuentes' trial began for injury to a child by omission causing serious bodily injury — a first-degree felony that carries the same punishment range as murder.
