Lindsay Clancy's alleged copycat, Corie Walsh, shared never-before-seen Facebook photos of her son Barrett before his death, including a Christmas Eve post that drew attention to his expression.

"PSA: There was no harming of [Barrett] while posing for photos despite the look of sheer terror on his face," Walsh addressed his expression in the caption.

Per TMZ, one set of photos even showed Barrett posing with his siblings in matching pajamas on Christmas Eve. The post was among several photos Walsh shared of Barrett, including birthday memories.

The Illinois mother, who was allegedly obsessed with the Clancy trial, has been accused of killing her 2-year-old son.

Corie Walsh shared Christmas Eve photos of Barrett alongside his siblings in matching pajamas.

Walsh also shared photos of Barrett around his birthday and called him Bear in the post.

She reflected on the changes she had seen in her son since he became a big brother.

"He's grown leaps and bounds since becoming a big brother but still rests his head on my shoulder, when I'm carrying him up for bed, reminding me of how little he is," she wrote.

Per the outlet, the posts also contrasted with the allegations surrounding Walsh.

A former high school friend previously described her as "beautiful, kind, intelligent, talented and giving" as a teenager.

The case was in jury deliberations around the time of Barrett's death.

Hours before Barrett was found dead, Walsh allegedly sent a message in a group chat saying, "It was manslaughter, please help I’m really freaking out," NBC Chicago previously reported.

Police responded to the home on September 1 after Barrett was found unresponsive.

Barrett's body was discovered by two other children who lived at the home, according to prosecutors. The children then ran to a neighbor for help.

Per NBC News, Police responded to the home on September 1 and found Walsh's neighbor trying to administer CPR on Barrett, who was found hanging from a rafter with his legs off the ground, the neighbor told police.

But he was already cold with no pulse, prosecutors said.

Walsh's attorney, Andrea Lyon, said she was experiencing a severe mental health crisis at the time of Barrett's death.

Walsh's next court date is scheduled for October.
