According to the indictment, she reportedly shot her mother, Trudy Fields, in the head and proceeded to stab her multiple times between Oct. 8 and Oct. 9. The Commonwealth argued that Torilena was not acting under the influence of “extreme emotional disturbance for which there was a reasonable explanation or excuse.”
The arrest citation did note, however, that she was under the influence of drugs at the time.
FOX 56 spoke with the Fields’ family following the hearing, and through tears, they said that they’ve been speechless and shocked about the entire situation.
