Loving Mom Bludgeoned With Kitchen Frying Pan, STABBED 30 TIMES

A college secret is said to be the motive behind the murder of an Ohio Mom.

Brenda Powell was bludgeoned with a frying pan and then stabbed more than 30 times. Daughter Sydney Powell, 19 at the time, was charged with murder.

Prosecutors claimed Sydney Powell did not tell her parents that she was suspended from Mount Union University months earlier for poor academics. Brenda Powell was on the phone with college officials when her daughter struck.

Defense experts argued that Sydney Powell suffered a psychotic break when she killed her mother. Three experts found she was schizophrenic and could not discern right from wrong.

Experts for the prosecution asserted Powell had mental health issues, but was not insane when she committed the crime.
