Laurel Schlemmer is escorted by Allegheny County sheriffs to court for the verdict in her murder trial, Thursday, March 16, 2017, in Pittsburgh. Schlemmer, charged with drowning her two youngest sons in their bathtub because she wanted to be a better mother to their remaining older brother has been found guilty but mentally ill of third-degree murder. Allegheny County Judge Jeffrey Manning found that Schlemmer’s mental capacity was diminished by her illness so that she could not form the specific intent to kill required of the first-degree murder conviction prosecutors sought for the April 2014 killings.
