A Pennsylvania woman is convicted of killing her 2 young children in 2019
Associated PressREADING, Pa. — A Pennsylvania woman was convicted of killing her two young children, who were found hanging in the basement of their home five years ago. Lisa Snyder, 41, was convicted Tuesday of two counts of first-degree murder in the September 2019 deaths of 4-year-old Brinley and 8-year-old Conner, who were taken off life support and died three days after they were found in the home in Albany Township, about 60 miles northwest of Philadelphia. Police also cited the defendant’s online searches for information about suicide, death by hanging and how to kill someone as well as episodes of a documentary crime series called “I Almost Got Away With It.” A coroner said both children were killed by hanging and ruled the deaths homicides. Snyder had sought to plead no contest but mentally ill to two counts of third-degree murder, but Johnson rejected the plea agreement last year, saying it didn’t “serve the interests of justice.”
