Husband Suing Ex-Wife For Wrongful Death of Son

This story concerns a man whose wife intentionally smothered their 6-month-old son. He subsequently divorced her and is now suing her for wrongful death. He's being raked over the coals by commentators, but I can understand his reasoning. Excerpt:

'The husband of Superior's Stephanie Rochester - charged with smothering their 6-month-old son to death last year - is suing her for wrongful death, claiming her actions were "intentional" and have caused him "loss of companionship."

In the lawsuit, filed in Boulder District Court last week, 29-year-old Lloyd Rochester alleges Stephanie Rochester, 35, placed blankets over their son Rylan's head, causing him to suffocate.

Stephanie Rochester - who has pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity - "was under the erroneous belief that Rylan had autism," according to the lawsuit. She "believed that Rylan's condition would emotionally and financially ruin her life."'
