BREAKING: The woman accused of killing her 11-year-old stepson and dumping his remains across the country in early 2020 has been found guilty of murder by an El Paso County jury following a month-long trial.
Letecia Stauch pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity in the killing of 11-year-old Gannon Stauch in February of last year, after claiming she had suffered a psychotic break that led to the boy’s death – something her defense attorney did not dispute in closing arguments, arguing her actions were not those of a sane woman, who had disassociated since the killing on Jan. 27, 2020.
“Those are not the actions of a sane and rational person. Those are the actions of someone who is delusional,” Tolini said. Under Colorado law, a person can be found not guilty by reason of insanity if they were incapable of distinguishing right from wrong, or if they suffered from a condition of the mind caused by a mental disease or defect.
