How can they indict without a cause of death? Why, other than pure prosecutor “I don’t believe in mental illness” dickishness, would they indict? Pure assholery.

why is this story here? not only is it topically out of place at TMP (or at least I think it should be), there’s also zero information of any interest, just a few sentences about a child who died and …what?

TPM disappoints me at times and this is a time.

Slow developing. This happened late May - early June. I thought hypothermia and dehydration were stated as the original cause of death. I recall mom having some mental issues.Very sad.

Both sad and nuts. The ‘ham sandwich’ nature of Grand Jury proceedings may explain the indictment, but pivotal to that is there’s no attorney in court arguing against indictment generally or of a particular person.

There have been many cases like this before, but they tend to hit each jurisdiction that experiences one something like by surprise; but once an attorney gets one, she quickly finds others in other jurisdictions, and those can come as a big wake-up call.

Those pointing out the absence of an opinion on cause of death are correct, but even then it’s just the start point of stuff wrong with this.

Seems quite obviously an insanity plea is in order. Good luck to them getting a conviction.

Clearly there are mental issues here.

But it’s Louisiana, so soon-to-be-former governor Piyush is already warming the execution chamber up – gotta keep pace with Texass!!

It’s easy. She’s black.

Thank God she didn’t have an abortion, or that little boy wouldn’t have lived to be killed.

Authorities say Lee died of dehydration and low body temperature while he was in the swing. Medical examiners ruled the death a homicide.

Hypothermia and extreme dehydration can't kill a person? Did we read the same article?

None of that was in the story when most of these comments were posted. Just a short blurb that said no cause was on the death certificate.

Still seems pretty likely the woman was and/or mentally ill.

Maryland. A relatively civilized state.

A thousand pardons. I thought this was about the death in Louisiana a week or so ago.

…yeh

This is what the PreciousLifers never bother to think about…

the short , pain-filled lives of unwanted children.

She had a breakdown. Her son died. No mental health treatment. No question as to why the courts didn’t step in after the first incident. Just throw her in prison and society doesn’t have to think about either the woman or the child again. Christian nation, my ass.

Crap, I wouldn’t have even bothered to decry an outrageous abuse of prosecutorial discretion in Louisiana. Just a “day ending in ‘y’” kind of story.
