Mother Stabbed Murder Trial

Jurors learned about the correlation between mental illness and violence. This was the main issue in Sydney Powell's case where her defense claimed she had a psychotic break and went into a catatonic state when she attacked her mother, Brenda. Dr. Robin Belcher-Timme, a forensic psychologist, claimed Sydney was not faking her symptoms. Her defense tried to convince jurors that a mental illness led to the stabbing of her mother, Brenda, while her mom was on the phone.
