I don't know, man. I've experienced trauma, but it was different than that. It's kind of hard to really have a frame of reference on this kind of thing. Only you can really know what's best for you.
If I was in a similar situation, however, I would relive that truamatic day over and over in court if someone told me they suspected foul play was involved. And you have to think of it like this, it was your mother's life. Sure, you suffered from the loss, but if there was a crime committed, it was against her. Ask yourself, what would she want you to do? And then ask yourself, is not wanting to relive trauma a good enough reason for justice not to be served?
That's my $0.02, but given I can't possibly put myself in your shoes, I'm not sure it's even worth that.

Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
