Texas jury shown heartbreaking footage of boy begging for food before starvation death

Video shown to a jury during a murder trial reveals the moment a four-year-old boy begged his father for bread just days before he starved to death.

The boy, Benjamin Cervera, died in August 2021, and more than 30 videos were shown in court this week as the prosecution argues that his father, 31-year-old Brandon Cervera, should be held responsible for his death.

Other video clips shown at trial show the child scouring the kitchen and the fridge at night – which reportedly became increasingly difficult as more and more locks were added to keep the kid out.
