Dad who murdered son, 6, by raping him with a stick attacked in court by stepson
A STEPSON of the killer dad who raped and murdered his six-year-old son lunged at him in court during his testimony.
Quinton Martin, the stepson of Mauricio Torres, was testifying during Torres' sentencing hearing Thursday when he leaped over the witness stand and attacked his stepdad on Wednesday.
Martin, who's in prison on drug charges, had his feet shackled but his hands were free.
Torres was found guilty of murdering little Isaiah a second time on Wednesday - he was previously found guilty of murder and sentenced to death in 2016, but the Arkansas Supreme Court later overturned the conviction.
Although Isaiah died in his home state of Arkansas, the horrific assault that ended his life happened in .
Assistant Medical Examiner Dr. Stephen Erickson testified on Friday that the little boy "had wounds all over his body" and that he
Isaiah's nose had been broken, some of his teeth were pulled with pliers or knocked out, and his head was covered in wounds, Erickson said.
Torres allegedly raped his young son with a stick as punishment for eating a small piece of cake without permission.
Cathy, Isaiah's mother, admitted her son's capital murder in March 2017 in a plea deal where the death penalty was removed as a possible punishment.
A medic who treated Isaiah just before he died told the court the parents were emotionless at the news of their son's death.
Torres is currently being held without bail in the Benton County Jail.
