An Akron woman who had been accused of fatally stabbing her mother three years ago has been found guilty by a jury in the Summit County Court of Common Pleas.
The Akron Beacon Journal reports the defendant, Sydney Powell, 23, was found guilty of two counts of murder, felonious assault and tampering with evidence for stabbing her 50-year-old mother, Brenda Powell, with a steak knife and beating her with a cast-iron skillet in the March of 2020, when Powell was 19.
During testimony, experts couldn't agree on whether the defendant was sane when the murder happened. Powell had entered a plea of not guilty by reason of insanity, according to Court TV reporting. Powell's sentencing was set for Oct. 28, where a judge will decide whether she will serve her sentence in prison or a mental health facility.
