Defense attorneys for a Pennsylvania mother who is accused of hanging her two young children in the basement and having sex with the family dog plan to mount an insanity defense when her case goes to trial. Lisa Snyder's lawyers filed papers in Berks County Court on Thursday citing a number of serious mental health issues on the part of their client. The Lehigh County coroner’s office concluded the cause of death for the children was hanging and ruled that both of the deaths were homicides. Snyder's lawyers cited a number of serious mental health issues, including depression, anxiety and post-partum depression. Snyder’s lawyers argue in their motion that the searches, which state police say were conducted using Conner’s Google account, have not been authenticated.
