Shownotes Transcript

Shanda Vander Ark testified in her own defense, facing child abuse and murder charges in the death of her fifteen-year-old son Timothy who had special needs. Prosecutors said that her and her older son Paul tortured and starved Timothy, who weighed only sixty-nine pounds when he died. On this week’s Court TV Podcast you’ll hear Shanda face an intense cross-examination; featuring many noteworthy moments including when Shanda becomes violently ill on the stand after prosecutor Matt Roberts places a photo of an emaciated Timothy in front her.
