it seem as though Mom died in court

That's exactly what I told my better half. (Look ma, I are a journalist.)

What's your proposed headline? In this case, a necessary word was dropped...insert "is" beween "Death" and "in" :-)

One of the problems often seen here is that print headlines (which are made to fit specific column widths, etc.) are translated to a single line of an electronic medium so you don't truly get the original headline. It's not as easy a trade as it might sound.
