A Westmoreland County Judge will soon make a decision on whether two daughters and a stepson will be required to testify against their mother who is charged with killing her adopted son. The Trib reports that 36-year-old Lauren Maloberti along with her husband Jacob reportedly tortured and killed 5-year-old Landon. Authorities said Landon was hospitalized in late January 2023 and died about three weeks later from injuries inflicted by his parents. The couple are charged with first-degree murder and related offenses. Prosecutors are seeking to use statements made to police and child advocates by Jacob Maloberti’s 10-year-old biological son and Lauren Maloberti’s two daughters, ages 14 and 11, in lieu of live testimony.
