The appeal on behalf of Ravyn Colley and Joel Roberto was granted, despite a jury finding them guilty of first and second-degree murder respectively in the death of their four-year-old son, Jaelin. He died in 2014 after suffering from chronic malnutrition and blunt-force trauma. “He did so in strong language, advising defence counsel that their clients were “f****d” if they went to trial,” the ruling said. “He encouraged all counsel to resolve the case by having both appellants plead guilty to second degree murder.”
