{"type":"rich","version":"1.0","title":"Why Did Rebecca Haro Plead Guilty At The Last Minute?","description":"Rebecca Haro maintained her innocence for months. She told investigators a stranger had taken her seven-month-old son from a parking lot in Yucaipa. She gave television interviews with a visible black eye. She begged on camera for her baby to come home. After she was arrested and charged with murder, she pleaded not guilty. She sat in custody at the Robert Presley Jail on a million dollars bail and prepared to take her case to twelve jurors.\n\nThe morning of her preliminary hearing, with prosecutors about to put their evidence in front of a judge for the first time, she folded.\n\nIn this episode, Tony breaks down what happened in that courtroom. The plea deal that made the murder charge go away. The plea deal that made the false police report charge go away. The series of yes, Your Honor answers Rebecca Haro gave Judge Jerry Yang as she accepted twelve years and eight months in state prison for what the Riverside County District Attorney's Office called her sins of parental omission.\n\nBut omission is the wrong word. Omission is too clean for what Rebecca Haro did to baby Emmanuel.\n\nTony also revisits the documented child cruelty conviction Rebecca knew about when she had a baby with Jake Haro. The injuries the forensic pediatric specialist saw documented across the months of Emmanuel's short life. The two-year-old sibling Riverside County Child Protective Services removed from the family home the day his parents were arrested. The body of seven-month-old Emmanuel Haro that has never been found and, according to prosecutors, never will be.\n\nJake Haro, the man who actually killed Emmanuel, is doing thirty-two years to life and will, in all likelihood, die in state prison. Rebecca walks out in her mid-fifties with decades of life left.\n\nListen to the full story.\n\nEND LINKS\n\nJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
