BROTHER KILLER CRISTIAN FERNANDEZ, 12, IN COURT

BABYFACED ASSASSIN

THE 12-YEAR-OLD boy charged as an adult with brutally beating his brother to death has appeared in court for the first time. 
Cristian Fernandez was home alone when toddler David Galarrigo was hurt and he initially told his mom Biannela Susanna that his brother had fallen out of a bunk bed.
But cops later established during interviews that he "acted with premeditation" smashing his helpless brother so badly that he fractured his skull causing a bleeding brain and bruising to his left eye.
His mom has also been charged in relation to the crime because although her tot was unconscious on her return, instead of calling an ambulance, she just cleaned him up, changed his clothes and put ice on his head.
Then according to WETV she just got on the computer to research concussions.
 Prosecutors asked during the hearing that visitation between Fernandez and his mother be limited so the two would not be able to collaborate on a story before their trials.
The two reportedly haven't seen each other since their arrests.
Judge Mallory Cooper made no ruling on that request or on a pending defense motion to lift a gag order on the lawyers in the case.
Another pretrial hearing is scheduled for Sept. 1.
