From Times Wire Reports

A woman who claimed prescription antidepressants made her homicidal was convicted of stomping her mother to death in a bathroom scuffle in the middle of the night.

Cindy Gail Countess, 49, was escorted sobbing from a Roanoke court after Judge Clifford R. Weckstein found her guilty of second-degree murder.

Countess did not deny she killed 82-year-old Edna Dooley. But her lawyers argued that her self-control was affected by the antidepressant Paxil.
