KEMPTON — A Pennsylvania woman charged with killing her two young children could face the death penalty.

Berks County prosecutors said Thursday that they will seek the death penalty against Lisa Snyder, 37, after her 8-year-old son Conner and 4-year-old daughter Brinley were found unresponsive in the basement of their Albany Township home in September.

The children were revived on their way to the hospital but were pronounced brain dead and taken off of life support three days later, authorities said.

Snyder pleaded not guilty and has been held without bail at the county prison since her arrest in December, the Reading Eagle reported.
