Woman Felt God Told Her To Cut Off Girl's Arms
A woman on trial for allegedly cutting off her infant's arms had "layer upon layer of" insanity and psychosis, a Texas state psychiatrist said.
Dr. David Self told a jury Monday that Dena Schlosser felt God was commanding her to cut off the girl's arms as well as her own arms, legs and head.
The mental expert evaluated Schlosser in the months after her November 2004 arrest.
Police responding to a 911 call found her covered in blood, still holding a knife and listening to a church hymn. She had cut her own shoulder.
Her trial is in its sixth day.
Schlosser has pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity.
Prosecutors said she knew what she was doing and should be sent to prison for life.
