LAS VEGAS (KLAS) A mother who investigators said killed her 3-month-old son by throwing him from a staircase pleaded guilty by reason of insanity in court Friday.<\/p>\n
Xin Liu killed her son, Stanley Shah, on Sept. 1, 2020, at a home near Desert Inn and Fort Apache roads, police said.<\/p>\n
Liu pleaded guilty to charges of involuntary manslaughter by reason of insanity and child abuse, according to a court spokesperson.<\/p>\n
The Clark County Coroner had said Stanley had a squishy skull with crepitus, meaning the baby had multiple skull fractures.<\/p>\n
According to the initial arrest report, a woman had called 911 saying Liu had intentionally dropped her baby from the second floor of a home to the first floor and that the baby was not breathing.<\/p>\n
Family members told police Liu suffered from depression and suicidal thoughts of killing Stanley and herself. The report said they tried to get her help and even hired a nanny to watch the baby.<\/p>\n
A sentencing hearing is scheduled for May.<\/p>\n
