Dimone Fleming legal proceedings for child deaths

Overview

A Bronx judge has found Dimone Fleming not guilty by reason of mental disease or defect for the 2022 deaths of her two children, aged 3 years and 11 months. The children were found with multiple stab wounds in a bathtub at a Bronx family shelter.

Psychiatric evaluations from both the prosecution and defense concluded that Fleming was suffering from postpartum psychosis at the time of the killings. Expert testimony described Fleming as “grossly psychotic and out of touch with reality,” experiencing hallucinations.

Following the ruling by Judge Audrey Stone, Fleming will avoid prison and face potential hospitalization. Her future placement depends on psychiatric evaluations to determine if she remains a threat to others; she could be committed to a high-security hospital indefinitely or sent to a less restrictive facility. A new evaluation has been ordered to assess her current mental state.
