Mom Indicted in Stoning Death of 2 Young Sons

TYLER -- A Smith County grand jury Monday indicted an East Texas mother on two counts of capital murder in the deaths of two of her sons. The grand jury in Tyler also indicted Deanna Laney on one count of injury to a child over the attack that left her toddler son with a fractured skull. The indictment says the Mother's Day weekend attacks were carried out with rocks. Laney is jailed in Tyler on $3 million bond. Authorities have said the woman told officers that she killed her sons because God told her to do it. Posted by Editor at August 5, 2003 10:00 AM
