"Jake Haro, who admitted to killing his 7-month-old son Emmanuel, was sentenced to more than 30 years in state prison on Monday, Nov. 3 bringing to a close one-half of a court case investigated by both sheriff's departments in the Inland Empire that has captured the attention of the national media and social-media sleuths across the country. Superior Court Judge Gary Polk sentenced Haro, 32, to seven years, two months for a probation violation and other charges, which he will begin serving first."
"During the hearing at the Riverside Hall of Justice, Haro declined to speak. But Emmanuel's maternal grandmother, Mary Beushausen, did choose to talk during the sentencing hearing. I want you to look at me, she said before the judge told her to not speak directly to Haro but to the court. I told him I would be here for his sentencing before he was arrested. He destroyed our family."
Jake Haro pleaded guilty on Oct. 16 to second-degree murder, assault on a child under age 8 causing death, and filing a false police report. Superior Court Judge Gary Polk sentenced Haro to seven years, two months for a probation violation and other charges to be served first, followed by 25 years to life for assault causing death. The judge selected the harsher sentence because the assault and murder arose from the same act. Haro declined to speak at the hearing. Emmanuel's maternal grandmother, Mary Beushausen, delivered a victim impact statement and said Haro destroyed the family. The location of the boy's remains is unclear.
