🚨 AMISH MOTHER ACCUSED OF DROWNING 4-YEAR-OLD SON CHOOSES BENCH TRIAL An Ohio mother charged in the drowning death of her young son will face a judge β€” not a jury β€” this week. Ruth Miller has pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity to charges including aggravated murder and felonious assault. She has elected a bench trial, meaning the judge alone will determine the outcome. Prosecutors allege Miller drowned her 4-year-old son in a lake, then attempted to drive a golf cart into the water with her three teenage children inside. Body camera footage reportedly captured her telling officers, β€œI gave my son to God,” and claiming her husband was at the bottom of the lake. Her defense team argues she was suffering from severe mental illness and says she has been receiving counseling and medication while in custody. The trial is expected to last one day. #RuthMiller #OhioCrime #CourtTV #BreakingNews #TrueCrime
