'Captain America' actress charged with second-degree murder of her mother claims self-defense: report

Published 9 hours ago January 15, 2020

Less than two weeks after being arrested on the charge of second-degree murder of her mother, court documents show that actress Mollie Fitzgerald told police she acted in self-defense.

According to The Kansas City Star, medical examiners, however, found no signs that her mother was ever in control of the weapon. An overturned chair, a broken lamp and damaged drywall indicated to authorities that there was a struggle, police said.
[.....]
Mollie Fitzgerald said that her mother first came at her with a knife, but she took the weapon after hitting her with a vacuum attachment, court records said, according to the outlet.
[.....]
According to the affidavit, "[Mollie Fitzgerald] said her mother just would not stop trying to take the knife to kill her, so she had to kill her mom.”

Mollie Fitzgerald was treated for minor cuts, and an autopsy revealed that Patricia Fitzgerald suffered from bruising consistent with being choked, as well as other "defensive injuries," the newspaper reported.
[.....]
According to the newspaper, Mollie Fitzgerald said in a Jan. 2 court hearing that she would represent herself, but a judge on Tuesday ordered that she first undergo a mental competency evaluation before the case progresses any further.

Not sure moving it back a day makes a difference as far as the Pandemic goes. I wouldn't be surprised if it is moved again. There are a lot of cases of the Virus in Johnson County where this case is being held. jmo
