Broke Long Island mom charged with running over teen.
Jennifer Nelson, a Long Island mom charged with attempted murder for running over a 15-year-old boy she believed was bullying her son, was given a court-appointed lawyer after telling a judge she was broke. Nelson allegedly slammed her car into the victim in the parking lot of a Manhattan Bagel shop on Oct. 7, then ran over him twice. The victim was allegedly part of a group of teens who were bullying her son. Nelson remains free without bail and is due back in court on April 18.
