Michelle Kehoe Guilty Of Murdering Son

Coralville mother Michelle Kehoe cried and her family sobbed as a jury found her guilty of first-degree murder in the death last fall of her 2-year-old son in a remote area of northeast Iowa.

Kehoe used a white handkerchief to stem her tears as the jury of eight women and four men also found her guilty of attempted murder and child endangerment causing serious injury to cap the week-long trial.

It took jurors only two hours to come back with the three guilty verdicts against Kehoe, 35, who had been accused of killing her son, Seth, near Littleton on Oct. 28, 2008, and then trying to kill her then 7-year-old son, Sean, before also cutting her own throat. She had pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity.
