A woman who admitted killing her infant daughter five years ago can regain custody of her toddler son, a state appeals court ruled.
Latrena Pixley, 23, is free of the mental illness she suffered when she killed her 6-week-old daughter in 1992, and her reunification with 2-year-old son Cornilous is in the boy's best interest, Chief Judge Joseph Murphy wrote for a three-judge panel of the Maryland Court of Special Appeals.The appellate ruling Thursday upheld a lower court ruling in December.
