Description
Appellant and her co-defendant, Joseph Stern, were convicted following a joint jury trial of two counts of child abuse and one count of first degree felony murder in connection with the death of appellant's two-year-old daughter, Katherine Rose Fernane. Appellant was sentenced to mitigated terms of twelve years and twenty-three years on the child abuse counts, and to life imprisonment without possibility of release for thirty-five years on the murder count, the sentences to run concurrently. She appeals from her convictions and sentences, contending that the trial court erred in (1) failing to sever her trial from Stern's; (2) failing to exclude or limit evidence of appellant's prior bad acts; and (3) denying her motion for judgment of acquittal based on insufficient evidence to support the verdict. We reject the third but agree with the first two contentions, and therefore reverse and remand for a new trial.
