NEW HAVEN — The prosecution of a Connecticut woman charged with killing her two children by poisoning them with antihistamines is being delayed because of a backlog in state police investigations.
A prosecutor told a judge Monday that state police are “busier than normal” and haven’t turned over evidence to the prosecution or defense.
LeRoya Moore is being held on $2 million bail on murder and other charges in the deaths of 7-year-old Daaron Moore and 6-year-old Aleisha Moore. Their bodies were found in their East Haven home June 2. Authorities ruled they died of an antihistamine overdose.
The New Haven Register reports that public defender Tejas Bhatt says he can’t make any decisions about the case because he hasn’t seen the evidence.
The case was continued until Sept. 28.
