Corie Walsh Held in Jail, Retains Lawyer Andrea Lyon in Son's Death Case
Corie Walsh, a 40-year-old mother from Frankfort, Illinois, is charged with first-degree murder for allegedly hanging her two-year-old son, Barrett Walsh, on September 1. During a court hearing on September 8, a judge denied her release, citing compelling reasons for detainment. Walsh has retained Andrea Lyon, known as the "Angel of Death Row" and former lawyer for Casey Anthony, who stated that Walsh was experiencing a psychotic episode at the time. A neighbor found Barrett's body and later saw Walsh harming herself.
