Jury Convicts Schenectady Woman of Murder
A jury has convicted Persia Nelson, a Schenectady woman, of murder for leaving her infant down a drainage pipe at the GE campus last year.
Nelson was found guilty of second-degree murder, manslaughter, and endangering the welfare of a child. She allegedly left her 11-month-old daughter, Halo Branton, down an 8-foot drainage pipe in a utility shed on the General Electric campus in March 2024.
The baby died from hypothermia and exposure after being in freezing cold water. The trial lasted almost three weeks, with the jury deliberating for over 4 hours.
During deliberations, the forewoman sent a note to Judge Matthew Sypniewski asking for clarification on the top count of second-degree murder by depraved indifference.
