Mother Charged in Son's Death | Tampa News
Description
A Frankfort mother, Corie Walsh, faces murder charges after her two-year-old son Barrett was found hanging in the basement—her alleged belief that he was the “devil” and “anti-Christ” adds chilling context. Ordered to remain in custody while receiving psychiatric treatment, Walsh is being held at the Will County Jail, with her high-profile defense attorney Andrea Lyon (Casey Anthony’s former lawyer) representing her. The child’s neighbor performed CPR before paramedics arrived; autopsy confirms death by asphyxiation. Walsh was also hospitalized with self-inflicted wounds, and a knife was recovered from the scene. Three other children were unharmed. Authorities are digging into her cellphone as prosecutors seek to keep her locked up pretrial.
