O'Donnell's daughter, Victoria Lynn O'Donnell, 24, was preparing dinner around 6:30 p.m. for her live-in boyfriend, Jamal Scott, 30, and their 6-year-old son and 2-year-old daughter. The four share a home with Nancy O'Donnell.
Victoria O'Donnell went upstairs while the food was cooking, and police said that when she came back downstairs, she could smell bleach in the food. She tried the macaroni and cheese and immediately spit it out after tasting the bleach, police said.
One the one hand, we have a mother that attempted to poison her family with a poison readily detectable by odor and other sensory means. On the other hand we have the daughter who, upon
smelling the bleach, decides to confirm the presence of a toxin
by taste. We won't even go into what bleach would do
visibly to fully cooked macaroni. My guess is there are no straight-A students in this household.
