SANTA ANA, Calif.—A woman who dropped her 7-month-old son to his death from a Children’s Hospital of Orange County parking structure a decade ago was legally sane at the time of the crime, a jury found on Sept. 13.
Sonia Hermosillo, 41, was convicted Aug. 11 of first-degree murder and child assault causing death. She had pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity, so the trial entered a sanity phase for jurors to determine her mental stability at the time of the crime.
