About A Mother's Trial

Chronicles the case of Priscilla Phillips, an apparently devoted mother who was convicted of murdering her adopted Korean infant. Describes the ordeal of a woman diagnosed with Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy, a disorder that compels mothers to make their children ill, and put on trial for the death of her adopted baby daughter. As far as anyone knew, Priscilla Phillips was the perfect mother: A pillar of her church, a social worker, a devoted wife and mother. Priscilla lavished endless love and attention on her adopted Korean daughter Tia, and later her adopted sister, Mindy. To this day she claims total innocence of any wrongdoing. Yet she was arrested and tried for murder. Loving mother or twisted killer? You decide. .
