About this episode

The episode discusses the case of Jellisa Baxter, who confessed to killing her daughter and the implications of mental health on her trial.

A mother, Jellisa Baxter, calls 911 and says she killed her 3-year-old daughter. The details are clear and the confession is recorded, but the case doesn’t move forward. Because now, the question isn’t just what happened ... it’s whether she can even stand trial for it. Today we talk about mental health issues and the judicial system.
