Her injuries were not considered life-threatening, according to the court proffer viewed by the outlet. Police also found Walsh in a bathtub, fully clothed and in bloody water. She was taken to hospital after officers determined that she had attempted to harm herself. Walsh was taken to the hospital after the incident and will be transferred to the Will County Adult Detention Facility once she is medically cleared. She is expected to await a detention hearing there.
Corie Walsh, 38, faces three counts of first-degree murder after her son Barrett, who was also known as “Bear”, was found hanging in the basement of the family home, FOX 32 reported.
After more than 30 hours of deliberations over nearly seven days, the jury was unable to reach a unanimous verdict, and on Friday, the judge declared a mistrial. The case has drawn attention to Walsh’s conversations about Clancy, a Massachusetts mother and nurse whose trial was underway when Barrett died. Clancy was accused of killing her three children before attempting suicide and argued that she had been suffering from postpartum psychosis.
