On July 23, 2016, inside the Ellenville, NY, apartment of 27-year-old Sarra Gilbert a murder in the most horrific fashion occurred. Sarra stabbed her 52-year-old mother, Mari Gilbert more than 200 hundred times and then bludgeoned her head with a fire extinguisher until she was certain her mother was dead. Sarra had a long history of mental illness staring at a young age, with her defense attorney arguing that on the day of the murder, she had been suffering from hallucinations and was hearing voices that told her to kill her mother. The defense would also argue that she had been subjected to years of mental and physical abuse at the hands of her mother and had even suffered from sexual abuse at the hands of her mother’s boyfriend. However, the prosecution and some of the members of Sarra’s family told a very different story, one that was filled with a devious and manipulative young woman who tried to excuse her drug addiction as a mental illness. Several of Sarra’s family members claimed that she had tormented and belittled her mother Mari for years. So, was this a mentally ill woman whose psychosis had led to her committing murder or was this just a sinister mind of a cold-blooded killer.
