current case.
⠀ She followed a famous murder trial. Now she is accused of killing her son. ⠀.
Corey Walsh, a 40-year-old mother in Illinois, was back in court Oct. 26 in connection with the death of her 2-year-old son, Bart.
⠀.
Prosecutors say Walsh killed the boy at the family's Frankfort home in September.
⠀.
The case drew attention after investigators revealed that Walsh reportedly became deeply interested in the Lindsey Clancy murder trial shortly before her sons' deaths.
⠀.
But her defense strongly disputes the suggestion that it was a copycat killing.
⠀.
Attorney Andrea Lyon says Walsh experienced psychosis and argues that her mental state is central to determining criminal responsibility.
⠀.
The latest court hearing was adjourned to allow both sides more time to examine evidence.
⠀.
Walsh remains in custody and is presumed innocent.
⠀ The distinction is important: following another criminal case, there is no proof of a motive, and the defense's claims have not yet been clarified in the trial.
