The Manhattan millionaire mom accused of killing her 8-year-old autistic son is coming under scrutiny by prosecutors who claim that she may have faked the suicide part of a murder-suicide attempt gone awry. Gigi Jordan was found rambling unintelligibly in a swanky Peninsula hotel room with her son — dead of an overdose amidst an array of pills this past February. In a letter to the Manhattan Supreme Court, Assistant District Attorney Kerry O'Connell writes that "The defendant, with her background, had the ability and the expertise to succeed in overdosing herself." Jordan's attorney Gerald Shargel asserts that the DA's letter was "filled with half-truths and distortions," but prosecutors believe that former drug company executive may be trying to feign mental illness to get away with murder.
