A Colorado Springs mother’s extradition fight to avoid trial in the killings of her children hit a setback Friday as new evidence appeared to undermine her argument that sending her home from the U…
Police tape marks a crime scene where Colorado Springs police found children dead inside a condo of the Palomino Ranch Point complex after responding to a 911 call reporting a burglary, Tuesday, Dec. 19, 2023, in Colorado Springs, Colo. Kimberlee Singler, the mother suspected of killing two of her young children and wounding a third, was arrested Saturday, Dec. 30, in the United Kingdom, authorities said.
Defense lawyer Edward Fitzgerald said that despite an option for a Colorado governor to commute her sentence at some point, it was “political suicide” to do so and experts found it hadn’t been done. Singler, who had superficial knife wounds when she was found in her Colorado Springs apartment with her children Dec. 19, was initially considered a victim in what was reported as a burglary, police said. She tried to pin the attack on her ex-husband, who she was in a custody battle with.
But after recovering from her wounds and being transferred to a foster home, she told a caretaker her mother was the culprit. “The defendant told her that god was telling her to do it, and that the children’s father would take them away,” Smith said. Singler is concerned her daughter’s statement against her was coerced and that the crimes weren’t fully investigated, Fitzgerald said.
