Woman convicted of killing her son just days after regaining full custody of him.
Court officials told CBS Minnesota that due to the gravity of the case, jurors were offered crisis counselors.
Investigators said Eli was shot inside his mother’s car in a parking lot at Lake Minnetonka Regional Park in Minnetrista. Police found the body in the trunk May 20 after pulling her over for a traffic violation.
During closing arguments, defense lawyer Bryan Leary said she participated in the boy’s death but was not the one who shot him.
He said no eyewitnesses, photos or videos connected her to the killing, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reported.
“She’s not charged with the crime they have proved,” Leary said.
“She destroyed evidence, lied to police, ran away, but they have not proved beyond a reasonable doubt that the gun was in her hands when it was fired nine times into her son.”
