Woman Pleads Insanity in Child Beating

(Redding, California) A local area woman, Rachel Limon, has changed her plea on the eve of her trial for felony child abuse.

In light of being accused of severely beating a seven-year-old boy within an inch of death, Limon decided to plead she is insane thereby delaying the start of her trial until October 18.

When Sheriff's deputies found the boy, he had broken bones, burns on his body and a collapsed lung.

Rachel Limon will stand trial with her brother, Gregory Matthew Limon, who is charged with child abuse and being an accessory. He faces seven years in prison if he is convicted.

Rachel Limon faces three separate life in prison sentences if she is convicted.

Plans are to have Limon evaluated by court-appointed psychologists.
