Overview

  • On July 4, a Mexicali court found Esteban N. guilty of omission of aid in the 2023 death of 11-year-old Martín Damián and imposed a six-month sentence.
  • He can avoid jail by posting a 2,000-peso bail and complying with monthly check-ins under probation-style measures.
  • The court also imposed a 311-peso fine and rejected the parents’ multi-million-peso indemnification claim.
  • Dozens of fellow teachers demonstrated in his support during the sentencing hearing while other community members decried the lenient penalty.
  • Esteban’s formal sentence reading is scheduled for July 10 at the Centro de Justicia de Río Nuevo to finalize the case.
