The Insurance, The Dysfunction, The Misery...
So, Ashley Glassey, the 21 year-old daughter of Sherry West, testified this week about how her mom's story didn't add up and how she'd called police about it.

When she didn't get a call back, she contacted the media. Her mom, who lost custody of Ashley and her brother when Ashley was 8 ys old, no longer speaks to her. Ashley cried throughout her testimony.
It was confirmed in court this week that Sherry West had purchased life insurance on baby Antonio and had collected on the policy (Gerber Life). Sherry said she got it because Antonio was sick and someone in the hospital recommended it.

Sherry West testifies in Elkins' murder trial
Though Sherry West claimed in a media interview that she thought the murder of her older son and Antonio were linked, nothing to that effect has been presented at trial (that I've seen reported).
Sherry's 18 year old son, Ashley's brother, was killed several years ago; LE claims that he was part of a group who planned to ambush someone. He was armed with a steak knife, which the victim got away from him and then used to stab the 18 year old to death.
