Here comes the insanity defense...
http://www.philly.com/philly/news/pennsylvania/132033308.html
Cameron (Weston's ex-boyfriend) said he met Weston in 2006 or 2007 in Killeen, Texas. He said he was shocked to learn yesterday from the Daily News that Weston previously had been convicted of murder in Philadelphia.
In 1981, Weston and a sister beat, tied up and put in a closet a man who had impregnated the sister, after he said he wouldn't support the unborn child. The man died of starvation two months later. Weston was initially judged mentally incompetent to stand trial, then was convicted in 1984 of third-degree murder.
Yesterday, Weston appeared briefly via video for her arraignment in the Tacony case. Her attorney, Michael J. Graves Jr., said afterward that a family member of hers told him that she is schizophrenic.
Weston, Thomas and Wright face kidnapping, conspiracy and related charges and were being held on $2.5 million bail each. All three are listed for a hearing Monday.
Thomas also has served time behind bars. He was convicted of a 1983 rape and served almost 10 years in state prison.
