YOUNGWOOD, Pa. (AP) – A woman has asked a judge to dismiss charges that she beat her mother and shaved her head because she thought the older woman was listening to the Pittsburgh Steelers’ game too loudly on the radio.  Lawyers for Delores Amorino filed legal documents Wednesday that claimed her now 19-year-old daughter is responsible for assaulting the 78-year-old woman.  The filing comes a few weeks after a judge found Amorino was competent to stand trial but her daughter wasn’t.  Authorities have said the two women beat Amorino’s mother and shaved her head during an August 2017 attack in their Youngwood home. They say she was held captive for more than two days.  A psychiatrist testified the women have been diagnosed with a rare psychological disorder in which both suffered from shared delusions that they’re in romantic relationships with a current and a former member of the Steelers.
