Mother testifies in toddler's murder trial - South Bend Tribune
Tuesday, October 25, 2011
South Bend, Indiana -- Valentin Escobedo, 25 is on trial for murdering his two year old daughter, Maya Jane Escobedo. The U.S. Immigration Customs and Enforcement (ICE) has a "hold" on him. He is charged with murder, one count of child neglect and one count of battery.
Escobedo initially told authorities he didn’t know what had happen to the toddler. Then he concocted a story and he said that he was taking a shower with the girl and dropped her and then he fell on top of her. The police said that was impossible due to the size of the shower.
The hospital doctors said that Maya’s injuries were most likely caused from abuse. “The girl had fresh scrapes on her chin and face, bruising throughout her body, a fractured skull, broken ribs, and a swollen brain.”
“As police began investigating after the girl’s death, they learned she had suffered injuries throughout her life. An autopsy later revealed liver and pancreas trauma.”
A babysitter testified she had noticed that Maya had suffered injuries once Maya was hobbling. A couple of months later she said the toddler had a black eye. Another time she said Maya was limping again. The babysitter told the mother each time that she noticed Maya was injured. When the mother asked Escobedo what happened he made up excuses like she fell in the hallway or got hurt in her crib...
“Jurors were shown close-up images of Maya from the hospital, where she was seen with her eyes closed, and medical tubes coming out of her mouth. The photos showed marks on her cheeks, which appeared swollen, and a thick red scrape on her chin.”

"Doctors later found the child had suffered a
back-to-front fracture of her skull, three rib fractures and numerous
other injuries. She was later pronounced brain dead and eventually
taken off life-support."

Doctor: Baby’s bones broken
Doctor: Baby
"SOUTH BEND — The first red flag that little Maya Jane Escobedo may have been suffering from abuse at the hands of an adult came when the baby was just 5 months old.
During Maya’s trip to the pediatrician in 2006, Dr. Frances Dwyer noticed that the baby’s elbow was swollen and appeared to be broken, she testified Tuesday. Dwyer testified that further X-rays revealed the child had several fractures including a broken collar bone and broken rib."
