Illinois mom hires Casey Anthony’s lawyer in toddler-murder case
Corie Walsh, a 40-year-old Illinois mother, is accused of murdering her 2-year-old Barrett in a psychotic episode and has hired Casey Anthony’s former lawyer, Andrea Lyon. Walsh had reportedly become invested in the Lindsay Clancy trial, and the case—the juxtaposition of high-profile murder defenses—echoes the Anthony and Clancy proceedings.
