JoAnn Cunningham wrote in a court filing that, “Her participation in the offense was a direct result of her suffering of her suffering from post-partum depression or post-partum psychosis.”
AJ Freund’s mother, who was convicted in her 5-year-old son’s murder in Crystal Lake, has asked the court to reconsider her case based on her claim that she thought she was seeing and hearing demons at the time of the crime.
Cunningham also claimed lack of due legal process and ineffective counsel by her attorneys, since she said her claims were never brought up in court. Though Cunningham did not specify what result she was seeking, her request could challenge her conviction and sentencing in the case. A coroner concluded that AJ had died from head injuries, with marks consistent with being hit with a detachable shower head.to involuntary manslaughter, aggravated battery and concealment of a homicidal death, and was sentenced to 30 years in prison.
Neither prosecutors nor defense attorneys in the case immediately responded to requests for comment. But Cunningham’s defense team, Assistant Public Defenders Rick Behof and Angelo Mourelatos, said at her sentencing that it was clear in cellphone videos of AJ’s earlier abuse that she was not in her right mind.
