Mass. High Court orders new trial in Brockton mother’s murder case over withheld psychiatric history
The Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court unanimously ordered a new trial for Latarsha Sanders, a Brockton mother convicted in 2022 of murdering two of her children and given two mandatory life sentences, ruling that the jury should have heard years of psychiatric history; the decision could impact insanity-defense cases and echoes another local case involving Lindsay Clancy.
