News at Noon starts right now. >>>eve tannery: First at noon... a mother's fate is now in the hands of a Lehigh County Jury. Wendi Stanford.. formerly of Allentown... is charged with killing her 2 month old son in 2003. WFMZ's Bo Koltnow is live outside the Lehigh County Courthouse with the details.>> Eve, Wendi Stanford smiled to her family as she headed into the courtroom. But that smile was short lived as the prosecution once againshowed the jury graphic pictures of her dead son.>>REPORTERDuring closing arguments the prosecution told the jury they're speaking on behalf of Dillon Harbin. They say... back in November of 2003 the 2 month old boy's mother Wendi Stanford shook him repeatedly..and then bashed his head onto bedroom furniture to stop him from crying. Then telling the jury it's outrageous and ridiculous that Stanford blamed the boy's death on her 2 year old daughter, whom Stanford claimed dropped the baby a few feet onto a carpeted floor..a few days prior.painted a picture of a simple mother, with only a 10th grade education, who would never harm her child. They don't dispute how the baby died but told the jury Stanford didn't do it... and suggested it could have been her now ex-husband Geoff Harbin..or his father..both of whom lived inside the Walnut street home. The defense said the case hinges on Harbin's word...who told police a decade after his son died.. he saw Stanford slap the boy a month before his death. During the prosecution's closing arguments Stanford could be seen repeatedly shaking her head repeating "that's not what happened." The case is now in the hands of the jury.
