Mom pleads not guilty to charge of beheading daughter
2015-03-27
[USATODAY] A young mother accused of beheading her 3-month-old daughter entered a not-guity plea in court Thursday.

De'asia Watkins, 20, of Cincinnati appeared in Hamilton County Common Pleas Court but spoke only to her lawyer in a hushed voice and kept her gaze down. Judge Charles Kubicki increased her bond to $5 million from $500,000 in the aggravated-murder case and ordered her to return to jail.

A competency hearing is the next step, Kubicki said.

"The Justice Center can simply not take care of her," her defense lawyer said. "She is too sick."

She will be transferred to Twin Valley Behavioral Healthcare facility in Columbus for a psychological evaluation, Kubicki said.
"What's your diagnosis, Doc?"
"She's possessed by a demon!"
"C'mon, Doc! That's a diagnosis?"
"Her eyes have no iris or pupils and they're bight red. Her head occasionally spins around 360 degrees. She projectile vomits flames. And she has horns. Send her back where she came from."
"Back to Cincinnati?"
"Back to hell."

#2   Is she Islamic?

Probably really bad post-partum depression or post-partum psychosis, according to the local paper. Her aunt had taken the baby to care for it, only then she took in Ms Watkins as well, though there was a court order or something to keep them separate. But with all three of them in the same apartment, it wasn't possible.
