A Man Has Been Sentenced to 40 Years in Prison for the Death of His 8-Month-Old Stepson
Christopher Davila was sentenced to 40 years in prison on Tuesday in connection with the death of King Jay Davila, his 8-month-old stepson.
Davila, 37, was found guilty on a charge of injury to a child causing death in the 227th Criminal District Court. Davila pleaded no contest and was sentenced to 40 years in prison. Davila must serve at least half of his sentence before he will be eligible for parole, officials said.
Judge Kevin O’Connell took into consideration Davila’s other pending criminal charges of tampering with evidence by concealing a human corpse, as well as unrelated charges of felon in possession of a firearm and possession of a controlled substance, according to the office of Bexar County District Attorney Joe Gonzales.
