TL;DR Summary

Letecia Stauch, the stepmother accused of murdering her 11-year-old stepson Gannon Stauch, told the boy's father on a recorded Valentine's Day call "I don't kill people." The boy's father testified that he began working with investigators when he realized his then-wife's stories about his missing son were not adding up. Letecia Stauch pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity, claiming she suffered a "major psychotic crack" as a result of childhood trauma. However, the prosecution has repeatedly stressed that Stauch knew right from wrong, a key element to disprove the insanity claim.
