Twins who lived with dead mom get guardians
HOUSTON
Attorney Ali Fazel said Thursday that a probate court judge has
ruled that 48-year-old Edward and Edwin Berndt don't have the
mental capacity to care for themselves.
The Houston Chronicle reports that a state district court still
must decide whether the twins have the mental capacity to stand
trial.
Police found 89-year-old Sybil Berndt's body during a welfare
check last month.
The brothers told police that their mother fell on Jan. 10 while
they were watching a football game. They left her on the floor
because they said they didn't have any money to get her medical
treatment. She died three days later.
