"Decades-Old Cold Case Verdict: Mother Found Not Guilty of Son's Murder"

Teresa Black has been found not guilty of murdering her 6-year-old son after a DeKalb County jury acquitted her on five of the six charges, including murder, aggravated assault, and cruelty to children, but found her guilty of concealing her son's death. The prosecution had portrayed Black as a negligent mother who failed to provide medical care to her son when needed, allegedly leading to his death, and then lied and concealed his death for years. The district attorney expressed disappointment at the verdict and stated that they still believe Black is responsible for her son's death.
