A woman accused of stabbing her elderly mother to death on Thanksgiving eve reportedly smirked as she made her court appearance Thursday.
Diana Bekatoros, 51, was charged with second-degree murder in connection to the death of her 84-year-old mother, Josephine Bekatoros.
The victim was found dead with multiple stab wounds by her husband, who had been watching TV during the ordeal.
