LOS ANGELES—A Riverside woman and her daughter who were convicted of involuntary manslaughter for a woman’s death after a buttocks augmentation procedure at a Sherman Oaks home in 2019 were sentenced April 18 to state prison, but a judge subsequently ordered their release after determining they had already completed their sentences with credit for time they spent under electronic monitoring.
Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge George G. Lomeli sentenced Libby Adame, 53, to four years and four months in state prison, and her 26-year-old daughter, Alicia Galaz, to three years and eight months in state prison in connection with 26-year-old Karissa Rajpaul’s Oct. 15, 2019, death, and ordered them to be taken into custody over the objection of Ms. Galaz’s attorney, Nareg Gourjian.
