Erin Merdy — the mom charged with drowning her three children in Coney Island — is not mentally stable enough to handle an arraignment on murder charges, according to the Brooklyn DA.
in Coney Island is not mentally stable enough to handle an arraignment on murder charges, the Brooklyn District Attorney said Thursday.
“She’s not medically cleared for an arraignment, she can’t be arraigned either in person or bedside,” Gonzalez told The Post outside of the Caribe Funeral Home in Flatlands where an afternoon, open-casket wake was held for“She’s not free to leave the hospital. She’s not clear for visitors, she’s still medically contained. The next step would probably be presentation of evidence to the grand jury.”
The borough’s top prosecutor called the Monday tragedy a “heartbreaking incident” and said he attended the wake to pay his “respects” to the family. Heartbroken relatives and loved ones gathered at the funeral home to remember the two slain kids but the mourners, some of whom were seen praying around the kids’ coffins, refused to speak about the horror and asked for privacy.
