With vs in connection with

A woman was charged in court in connection with the death of her son.

Is the sentence OK? Does "in connection" fit in the sentence?

Thanks.

Thanks, MM.

According to my dictionary, it is "charged with"?

My mistake. What I mean is that you should simplify and demystify:

A woman was charged in court with/for the death of her son.

Do you mean that "... charged in court for the death of her son" is also correct? So either "for" or "with" can be used.

tamguatlaySo either "for" or "with" can be used.
At first I thought only 'with', but then I decided 'for' would be OK, too. 'With' is the safest.
