Woman on Trial for Murder of Her Baby Son: Forensic Psychiatrist Testifies to False Memory

A forensic psychiatrist told her trial that she created a false memory to repress her actions, believing that her son's injuries were caused by him falling as she gave birth.

The prosecution alleges that Mayo fractured her son's skull with her foot and stuffed pieces of cotton wool into his mouth.

The defense argues that Mayo was in denial about her pregnancy and that her actions were caused by shock, panic, and emotional trauma.

The teenager's mother is accused of helping to dispose of the body.

The trial is ongoing.
