Infant died of catastrophic injuries
A baby who initially was said to have been dropped on a linoleum floor suffered skull fractures, two wrist fractures, broken ribs on both sides and a broken ankle, prosecutors said Friday. Leonardo Gonzalez's massive injuries were detailed as his mother, Joanna Michelle Vasquez, 22, made her first court appearance to face a capital murder charge. The 2½-month-old boy died April 27 of "catastrophic injuries," prosecutors said. He had been placed on life support shortly after being taken to a hospital on April 24 by Vasquez and her common-law husband, said Assistant District Attorney John Jocher.
