<p>Prosecutors said Melanie Liverpool-Turner had confessed to killing 49-year-old Connie Watton, of Queens, but she recounted the claim at her arraignment on a murder charge. &#8216;What? I didn&#8217;t admit to nothing,&#8217; Liverpool said before the judge reminded her she had a lawyer to speak for her. Witnesses said suspect Liverpool-Turner, 30, had been arguing with Watton, 49, at the Times Square-42nd Street station on Monday. Moments later she was &#8216;shoved&#8217; onto the tracks. The victim&#8217;s brother-in-law said that Watton&#8217;s husband was devastated by her death.<br />
A woman accused of pushing another commuter in front of an oncoming Times Square subway train rolled her eyes, smirked and seemed annoyed as she was arraigned on murder charges Tuesday.<br />
After prosecutor Matthew Thiman told the judge:&#8221;This is a strong case with multiple eyewitnesses and the defendant has admitted to the crime,&#8221; at Melanie Liverpool’s Manhattan Criminal Court appearance.<br />
Today in court, Liverpool-Turner denied the murder charge and insisted she was not guilty.Liverpool-Turner who’d been rolling her eyes as the prosecutor described her pushing Connie Watton to her death on Monday afternoon, looked astonished, interrupting, &#8220;What? I didn&#8217;t admit to nothing.&#8221;<br />
Her lawyer, Mathew Mari, told Judge Gerald Lebovits his 30-year-old client maintains her innocence.</p>

<p>&#8220;The defendant has indicated to me that she does wish to inform the court that she is not guilty,&#8221; Mari said, noting she has no criminal record.<br />
Sources say Liverpool-Turner, does have a psychiatric history, having battled with schizophrenia and bi-polar disorder. She claims to hears voices and on another that on another occasion, to have push a 19-year-old woman to her death at the Union Square station on Oct. 19.</p>

<p><strong>Melanie Liverpool-Turner smirked and rolled her eyes in court rolling her eyes as the prosecutor described her pushing Connie Watton to her death. She seemed astonished, interrupting, &#8220;What? I didn&#8217;t admit to nothing.&#8221; </strong></p>
<p>“I hear voices. I push people in front of trains,” she told cops then, police sources said.<br />
But witnesses told cops in that instance that Liverpool entered the station as the woman jumped. The German woman’s death was classified a suicide.<br />
Liverpool was taken for a psychiatric evaluation, and investigators believe her proximity to that incident may have planted the idea in her mind, the sources said.<br />
Mari told reporters Tuesday that &#8220;I know that she did have some kind of medical history but she wouldn&#8217;t go into it.&#8221;<br />
He said the Queens woman had worked as a home health care aide until about three weeks ago.</p>

<p>&#8220;I interviewed her briefly. She didn&#8217;t have much to say other than she&#8217;s not guilty. And she didn&#8217;t want to discuss anything else,&#8221; Mari said..<br />
A neighbor of Liverpool’s in St. Albans said he was in disbelief that she would do such a thing.<br />
&#8220;I was just as shocked as anyone else,&#8221; said Robert Simmons, 42.<br />
&#8220;Melanie was a nice person. We had no problems with her, that&#8217;s why I was kind of shocked. It&#8217;s like whoa.&#8221;</p>

<h6 class="imageCaption"><strong>NYPD officers arrest Melanie Liverpool-Turner after she allegedly killed Connie Watton, another commuter, in front of a moving subway train, Monday</strong></h6>
<p class="mol-para-with-font">Her upstairs neighbor described Watton as mild-mannered.<br />
“Knowing her, I doubt that she started anything. I would honestly say she was minding her own business. She wasn&#8217;t the type that would be looking for a fight. She wasn&#8217;t that type,&#8221;<br />
She said she spoke to Watton’s husband, and &#8220;it looked like he didn&#8217;t believe it. I don&#8217;t think he slept last night.&#8221;<br />
“It’s scary.”<br />
A motive has not been established, but Liverpool-Turner told authorities she also pushed a German college student to her death last month at Union Square Station. However officers think she is lying as the student is believed to have committed suicide after a breakup.<br />
She was ordered held without bail pending her next court appearance on Thursday.</p>
