Extradition hearing for mom accused of killing two of her children

The Colorado Springs mom accused of killing two of her children was back in court in the UK in a trial to determine whether she'll be extradited to the U.S.

Kimberlee Singler faces the following charges for an incident back in December:

• murder
• attempted murder
• child abuse

Day One Hearing Takeaways

Singler's defense attorney has also represented WikiLeaks Co-Founder Julian Assange during his extradition case. Police found two of Singler's children dead when responding to her home at the Palomino Ranch Apartments in December last year.

In court Wednesday, prosecutors said Singler's surviving daughter allegedly told a caregiver her mom had killed her siblings.

Singler fled the country and was arrested at a UK hotel on December 30.

Day Two Hearing Takeaways

In court Thursday, Singler's lawyer continued to argue that she should not be sent back to Colorado for trial.

The lawyer's main argument was that it would be a violation of European Human Rights Law. That's because European law says that you can't extradite a person back to a country where the sentence does not allow for parole.

A Colorado Public Defender also testified virtually, confirming that if Singler was convicted of first-degree murder, she would face a life sentence without the possibility of parole.
