A Case of Genetics and Antifreeze Poisoning
In 1991, Patricia Stallings was convicted of first-degree murder after her son died from antifreeze poisoning. Sentenced to life in prison, she ended up giving birth to another child who also developed similar symptoms as his dead sibling. But before you scream about psychopathic mothers, get this – the child was placed in foster care immediately after his birth, so Stallings could not have harmed him.
Later, both her children were discovered to have been born with a rare genetic disorder that mimics antifreeze poisoning. After her acquittal, Stallings sued and won a settlement against the hospital and lab that had botched the tests during the initial investigation.
