The Trials of Gabriel Fernandez explores life and death of eight-year-old Gabriel Fernandez, who was repeatedly abused by his mother and her boyfriend. The series focuses on the child's death, the arrest of Gabriel's mother Pearl Fernandez and her boyfriend Isauro Aguirre and the subsequent trial of Aguirre, who was later sentenced to death in 2018 after he was convicted of first-degree murder with the special circumstance of intentional murder by torture.
Dark details of Gabriel's story come to light as a shadowy source from inside the DCFS suggests that his case wasn't handled properly.
With hundreds of witnesses and thousands of documents, the trial of Isauro Aguirre begins — with Deputy DA Jonathan Hatami seeking the death penalty.
Focus shifts to Gabriel's mother, Pearl, and the role she may have played in his death. Gabriel's teacher recounts a series of calls to child services.
At Isauro's trial, a former security guard details his attempts to help Gabriel that hit a dead end with social services and the sheriff's department.
The social workers fight to clear their names in court. Later, with the cameras turned off, Gabriel's siblings take the stand and give graphic testimony.
As LA County assesses the cracks of a broken system, the jury reaches a verdict in Isauro's case, and Pearl Fernandez has her day in court.
