Lewis was the girlfriend of the boy’s mother, Brandi Mokarzel, who has already pleaded guilty to child neglect and served three years in prison for her role in the boy’s death.

Lewis’ mother, Callene Barton, has also been charged with first-degree murder. She’s accused of being the one responsible for throwing him.
