ALBUQUERQUE (KRQE) - The mother accused of suffocating her 3-year-old son and then burying him in an Albuquerque park will most likely plead insanity at her trial.

Tiffany Toribio has been jailed for nearly two years since her son Ty was found buried at Alvarado Park. The two were homeless, and she told police she did not want her son to have a rough childhood.

In June 2010, Toribio pleaded not guilty to several charges, including an open count of murder and child abuse resulting in death.

Her trial is scheduled for March.
