Mother charged with murder, claimed vaccines killed twins
Andrea Shaw, 23, was formally arraigned on two counts of first-degree murder in Payette, Idaho, in connection with the deaths of her 18-month-old twins. She appeared via video from jail, where she is held on a $2 million bond. Her attorney contends the children’s deaths were due to a vaccine-related medical issue, not a crime, though the prosecution charges her with murder, each carrying a potential life sentence or the death penalty. Shaw’s next court date is set for July 14, and if released on bond, she will be prohibited from contact with children and leaving Idaho.
