A murder trial is underway for a woman who killed her three children. The defendant's former mother-in-law testified that the woman was struggling and seeking assistance in the months prior to the incident. This testimony was given in support of the defense.

The woman's husband discovered the children's bodies in the family's basement. The woman also attempted to end her own life that night, resulting in paralysis. The couple is now divorced.

Further details about the trial and the events surrounding it are available from the source. A national crisis lifeline is also available for those in need of support.
