Pathologist admits relief after death of autistic daughter
Karen McCarron, 39, Morton, told police she felt relieved after suffocating her 3-year-old Katherine with a garbage bag because autism would be gone in heaven. In a May 15 2006 videotaped interview she described the act as a spur of the moment idea and said she did not wake up intending to kill. She has pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity to multiple charges and remains awaiting trial with some testimony urging insanity at the time.
