她說上帝讓她殺了2個孩子,被判120年
A Connecticut woman convicted of killing her two children saying it was God’s plan was sentenced to 120 years in prison without the possibility of parole.
康涅狄格州一名婦女,辯稱聽從上帝的安排,而殺害了自己的兩個孩子,最終被判120年監(jiān)禁,不得假釋。
LeRoya Moore, 39, was sentenced Thursday, following her conviction in March of two counts of murder for killing her 6-year-old daughter, Aleisha, and her 7-year-old son, Daaron, at the family’s home in East Haven in 2015. For each count of murder, she received 60 years.
現年39歲的勒羅亞摩爾(LeRoya Moore)于周四被判刑。今年3月,她因2015年在東黑文(East Haven)的家中殺害6歲的女兒阿莉莎(Aleisha)和7歲的兒子達隆(Daaron)而被判兩項謀殺罪。每一項謀殺罪名,她都被判60年監(jiān)禁。
“It’s a no win today, the sentence reflects the seriousness of the crimes but the children are still gone,” New Haven State’s Attorney Patrick Griffin said.
紐黑文州檢察官帕特里克·格里芬說:“今天的判決沒有贏家,120年的判決雖然嚴懲了罪犯,但是孩子們還是回不來了。”
Moore’s attorneys tried to use an insanity defense, saying she was in a psychotic state at the time but the three-judge panel rejected the defense in March.
摩爾的律師試圖為她的精神失常辯護,稱她當時處于精神狀態(tài),但3月份,由三名法官組成的陪審團駁回了辯護。
Autopsies showed the children died from antihistamine intoxication, but a defense psychiatrist said Moore told him she drowned them while trying to “baptize them” after God told her she had to kill them. She also stayed in the house for three days with the bodies telling the police she “saved them.”
尸檢顯示,兩個孩子死于抗組胺藥物中毒,但辯護精神病學家說,摩爾告訴他,是上帝讓她殺死他們,她在試圖“給他們施洗”時淹死了他們。她還在房子里呆了三天,尸體表明了“她救了他們”。
Griffin added the drug used was Benadryl, an over-the-counter medication.
格里芬補充說,使用的藥物是非處方藥苯那君。
A Yale psychiatry professor testified at trial that Moore suffered from schizoaffective disorder during the killings and still suffered from it.
耶魯大學的一位精神病學教授在審判中作證說,摩爾在殺人期間患有分裂情感障礙,現在仍然患有這種疾病。
