A Massachusetts woman who lived in a squalid, vermin-infested home where authorities found the remains of three babies was cleared Thursday of second-degree murder, but was convicted of lesser charges. Four living children were also removed from the home. Murray was initially charged in two of the babies' deaths, but the judge dropped one of the murder counts because she said prosecutors couldn't prove one of those babies was born alive. Police were called and officials removed four living children — the 10-year-old boy as well as 13-year-old, 3-year-old and 6-month-old girls — from the home. Authorities later found the remains of the three dead babies inside cardboard boxes in bedroom closets.
