USA - Texas. A jury sentenced Isidro Delacruz to death.

A Tom Green County jury sentenced Isidro Delacruz, 27, to death. He is convicted of killing 5-year-old Naiya Villegas, his ex-girlfriend's daughter, on Sept. 2, 2014. 119th District Judge Ben Woodward read the sentence. The same jury found Delacruz guilty of capital murder last month in the child's death. Naiya died in an ambulance on the way to the hospital after her throat was slit twice in the middle of the night at her mother's home. Court-appointed attorneys Robert R. Cowie and William P.H. Boyles said Delacruz experienced personality disorders, learning disabilities and physical abuse during his upbringing, which affected him in adulthood.
