Killer nanny seemed sane before slaughter: ex-clients
"...Ortega, who is mounting an insanity defense, claims that in the months proceeding the bathtub slayings, she suffered hallucinations, felt the devils touch on her skin and saw giants fighting.
Yet under vigorous questioning Tuesday by both the prosecution and the defense, both women said Ortega, while a bit terse, acted normally and showed no signs of delusion that the devil was penetrating her body, as the nannys lawyer, Valerie Van Leer-Greenberg, has said....
Heron, whose own daughter is still friends with the Krims surviving middle daughter, was crying before she even took the stand.
Prosecutor Stuart Silberg asked if Ortega was ever late or skipped out on any job or whether the pair had any disagreements: Heron responded no to all.
You didnt experience anything that would lead you to believe the defendant was experiencing any mental illness? he asked Heron.
No, Heron responded.
The other mom, Melanie Kapadia, said Ortega worked for her for a day just weeks before the murder, then arrived on her doorstep the next morning and claimed it was too much work. Ortega brought along a replacement a woman whom the bedridden Fox Business journalist had never met to do the job instead.
Kapadia said the interaction weirded her out but otherwise, Ortega never behaved bizarrely.
She was never rude, the mom said. But she was not happy to be in my home. She was getting paid more to work for Marina.
Three days before the murders, Ortega saw a psychologist. But she never mentioned the supernatural hallucinations. Instead, she discussed feeling anxious and overworked, with the doctor testifying last week she seemed nervous and depressed...."

Father of kids slain by killer nanny gives heartbreaking testimony
"The broken dad of the two little kids allegedly butchered by their Upper West Side nanny fought back tears in court Tuesday as he recalled seeing their tiny bodies at the hospital and having to say goodbye....
I got down on my knees, and I said, Im sorry. I said, I love you, and I kissed them, and I said goodbye.
Jurors openly wept at the fathers heartbreaking testimony, with one woman having to use the neck of her sweater to halt the
of tears streaming down her face.
Krim, 42, told the packed Manhattan courtroom how he first learned of his babies murders...
The dad then turned in the courtroom to glare at Ortega, who during Krims entire testimony, as she did with Marinas, stared straight ahead and avoided eye contact.
He said Tuesday was his first time laying eyes on Ortega since she allegedly killed his children...."
