- Prosecutors said they will not accept any stipulation and plan to present evidence on both guilt and mental responsibility in one proceeding.
- A court-ordered forensic psychiatric exam is set for April 10–12, followed by an April 23 status hearing and a July 20 trial date.
- Prosecutors say she strangled her three children on Jan. 24, 2023, then attempted suicide, leaving her paralyzed and now treated at Tewksbury State Hospital.
