Madeline Daly Pleads Guilty to Murder of 11-Month-Old Son in New Mexico
Madeline Veronique Daly pleaded guilty to first-degree murder in New Mexico for fatally shooting her 11-month-old son, Basil. The case began after a Wyoming court granted emergency custody to the child's father, but Daly took the child to New Mexico, violating the order and prompting a kidnapping investigation. Deputies found Daly at a rural property, where she shot the child before being taken into custody. Sentencing is pending, with a maximum penalty of life imprisonment under New Mexico law.
