Idaho seeks death penalty for mother accused of killing toddler twins
Idaho prosecutors are seeking the death penalty for Andrea Shaw, who is accused of murdering her 18-month-old twins, Dallas and Tyson. Shaw has pleaded not guilty and says the children died from vaccine injuries; prosecutors allege they were smothered, making the case a capital murder trial scheduled for January.
The twins were found dead at the family’s Payette trailer home on 1 May 2025, and Shaw was arrested in June. Prosecutors cite alleged exceptional depravity and disregard for human life as grounds for seeking execution; a jury would need to find at least one qualifying condition beyond reasonable doubt. An autopsy cited by prosecutors attributed the deaths to pulmonary vascular congestion, and Shaw is held on $2 million bond.
