DISTRICT ATTORNEY KARI BRANDENBURG SAYS STEPHEN CASAUS WAS CHARGED IN THE CHILD ABUSE DEATH OF HIS STEPSON, OMAREE VARELA, BECAUSE HE EITHER PARTICIPATED IN THE ABUSE…OR KNEW ABOUT IT AND DIDN'T INTERVENE.
BRANDENBURG SAYS THE CASE AGAINST CASAUS IS JUST BEGINNING. SHE SAYS THEY DON'T EXPECT CASAUS TO BE ABLE TO MAKE BOND AFTER HE'S ARRAIGNED …. SO SHE THINKS HE'LL REMAIN INCARCERATED DURING THE TIME HIS CASE IS PENDING.
BRANDENBURG SAYS CASAUS WAS CHARGED WITH DIFFERENT VERSIONS OF CHILD ABUSE TO COVER ALL POSSIBLE SCENARIOS. 9-YEAR OLD OMAREE VARELA WAS KICKED TO DEATH JUST DAYS AFTER CHRISTMAS…ALLEGEDLY BY HIS MOTHER.
