Sharon Carrillo

Carrillo is charged with the murder of 10-year-old Marissa Kennedy in a case that spurred changes in the state's child protection system.

Marissa’s stepfather, Julio Carrillo, was sentenced to 55 years in prison after pleading guilty to murder in the same case.

Julio Carrillo is expected to plead guilty next Monday to depraved indifference murder in Kennedy's killing.
