According to a psychiatrist she appeared to have experienced 'paranoid and religious delusions' and believed she had to kill Amelia to save the world and was being tested by God who would then return her daughter to her.

The jury after hearing the psychiatrist special verdict for both defense and prosecuting counsels agreed that Harris was suffering from paranoid schizophrenia.
