Breaking Bad Ricin Cigarette Searching
Breaking Bad poison trial: Woman cleared of trying to kill 'controlling' mother
Kuntal Patel was accused of spiking her mother's drink with a deadly poison, but claimed she had intended to kill herself.
A love-struck woman accused of trying to kill her mother with poison in a "Breaking Bad" inspired plot has been cleared by a jury.
Kuntal Patel, 37, went on trial accused of spiking her "controlling and selfish" mother's Diet Coke with a ricin-like poison after she banned her daughter from marrying the man she loved.
The idea was alleged to have come from an episode of the US show Breaking Bad in which someone is killed using ricin, jurors heard.
But Patel said she had intended to kill herself with the deadly toxin.
The jury of six men and six women deliberated for just over three hours before acquitting her of attempted murder, but convicted her of acquiring a biological agent or toxin.
She had already pleaded guilty to two counts of attempting to acquire a biological agent or toxin at an earlier hearing.
