The Pennsylvania Superior Court has shut down a lawsuit from the mother of a confessed murderer aimed at holding her son’s psychiatric care providers liable for allegedly contributing to his crimes through negligent treatment. 

Sandra DiNardo, on behalf of her son Cosmo DiNardo, sought indemnity from the University of Pennsylvania Health System for costs related to the murder convictions as well as damages for gross negligence. On Wednesday, the Superior Court dismissed her amended complaint in its entirety.
