	Description:		National crime correspondent, David Murray, has been digging into a case that has thrown up all sorts of complexities and implications. In this matter, the allegedly drunk driver is the mother of a superstar footballer. She was also, according to her lawyers, living in her own world of grief-induced fantasy, where a dead child had come back to life. Now, her defence team wants the case treated not as dangerous driving manslaughter - but a mental health episode. That’s today’s story. This episode of The Front is presented by Claire Harvey, produced by Kristen Amiet and edited by Lia Tsamoglou. Our team includes Kristen Amiet, Tiffany Dimmack, Joshua Burton, Stephanie Coombes and Jasper Leak, who also composed our music. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
