Devilish Teresa Moses found not guilty by reason of insanity

The boy lived in a locked bedroom that was rigged with a surveillance camera and motion detectors that notified Moses when Raijon got off the bed, police said. Moses restrained her son with a nylon cord tied around his wrists, arms and legs and fed him food mixed in a blender, police said.

She used a high-pressure water hose every day to wash waste off his body and forced him to soak in a tub of his own waste and Pine-Sol to deter him from relieving himself, authorities said.

SHOOT: Not sure whether I have come across a more appalling woman in my life than the one in this story.

clipped from www.sfgate.com A Richmond woman charged with abusing, torturing and murdering her 8-year-old son in 2006 was found not guilty by reason of insanity today and may spend the rest of her life in a state mental hospital. Under an agreement by attorneys from both sides, Burch then cited findings by three doctors in determining that Moses was "not guilty by reason of criminal insanity" because she was incapable of controlling her conduct at the time she killed Raijon. "I'm satisfied that she'll be spending time in a state hospital," prosecutor Jerry Chang said after the hearing. "How much time she will spend will be up to the state hospital." Moses was initially charged with torture and child abuse in the death of Raijon, who was found unresponsive next to a puddle of vomit Oct. 27, 2006, at his home on South 40th Street in Richmond. The other counts were dismissed as a result of today's pleas. Raijon died of trauma caused by continuous abuse, according to a forensic pathologist.
