Mother accused of murder eligible for death penalty----San Pablo woman
charged with killing 2 of her children
A San Pablo woman accused of killing 2 of her infants was arraigned
Wednesday on charges of murder and a special circumstance that makes her
eligible for the death penalty, deputy district attorney Dara Cashman
said.
Prosecutors have charged Lavida Davis, 23, with 2 counts of murder, 2
counts of assault on a child causing death and the special circumstance of
multiple murder.
On Sept. 17, Davis brought one of her twin 6-week-old sons to the
hospital, where he was pronounced dead, San Pablo police said. They found
that Davis had a 22-day-old boy who died under similar circumstances in
2004 in Oakland.
Investigators said Davis told them last week she placed a pillow over her
son's face when he was crying at night; she admitted killing the other boy
in 2004.
Davis is set to appear Oct. 6 in Superior Court in Richmond to enter a
plea and to get an attorney.
