Yesenia Ramirez Jose Portillo had pleaded guilty in August to eight charges including kidnapping, attempted kidnapping, conspiracy, burglary, and vehicle tampering, for cutting the brakes on Baby Brandon’s mother’s car. They both faced a maximum prison term of 16 years and four months.

District Attorney Jeff Rosen objected to the judge’s decision to give Yesenia Ramirez and Jose Portillo less than the maximum prison terms in exchange for their pleas, without a separate sentencing hearing.

The two suspects in custody were charged with the additional kidnapping counts at a May 12 bail hearing.

A fatal drug overdose, drug use by an officer, DUI while off-duty and indecent exposure at a crime scene prompted promises of tough new oversight and training at the San Jose Police Department.

At a press conference late this morning, San Jose police said the three suspects in custody have some connection to the family of kidnapped 3-month-old Brandon Cuellar, taken from his home Monday afternoon.
