Inside the courtroom: a record of the trial and deliberations

A source-led overview of the issues presented at trial, without recreating graphic evidence or speculating about deliberations.

AP reported that the trial heard weeks of testimony from prosecution and defense witnesses. The central legal dispute concerned criminal responsibility at the time of the 2023 deaths; the parties advanced sharply different accounts of the defendant’s mental state.

The defense argued that a severe postpregnancy psychiatric condition affected responsibility. Prosecutors argued that the conduct was intentional and that the defendant understood its nature. Those are the parties’ positions, not conclusions adopted by this site.

The archive avoids publishing unnecessary graphic detail. Its purpose is to give readers a clear path to reliable reporting, court materials where publicly available, and mental-health resources for anyone affected by the subject matter.
