The Case of Kasia Rivera

A forensic investigation unfolds after a six-month-old infant arrives at a New Jersey hospital with fatal injuries that do not match any accidental cause. As medical evidence builds, detectives track the narrow timeline of care inside the home and confront the caregiver whose statements cannot hold against the autopsy findings. The case moves from confusion to criminal certainty, ending in charges, a plea, and a sentence that confirms the weight of the facts.
