Sacramento County Superior Court Judge Sharon Lueras has been linked to a second child death during her two-year assignment to Sacramento Family Court. In an interview with Nancy Grace, Al Salmen, the grandfather of infant Ryder Salmen, disclosed that Lueras denied the family's request for custody of 8-month-old Baby Ryder.
