A Van Nuys Man has pleaded innocent to killing his mother by throwing her out of a second-story window on Saturday after a lengthy argument.
William Morris, 36, who entered the plea Tuesday in Van Nuys Municipal Court, is being held without bail pending a preliminary hearing.
Police say Morris pushed his mother, Marjorie Morris, 61, out of the dining room window of their Saticoy Street apartment. She died of head injuries suffered in the fall, police said.
