mom convicted of killing son by poisoning- Noe
A woman who blogged for years about her son's constant health woes was convicted Monday of poisoning him to death by force-feeding heavy concentrations of sodium through his stomach tube.
A jury in the New York suburbs found Lacey Spears, of Scottsville, Kentucky, guilty of second-degree murder int he death of 5 year old Garnett-Paul Spears, a spokesman for the district attorney's office said.
The Defense portrayed Spears as a caring mother and her son as sickly, but the prosecution argues that spears reveled in the attention Garnett's illness brought her. Video showed Spears twice taking the body into a hospital bathroom with a connector tube and the boy suffering afterward..
what do you guys think- is she guilty or not?

It's rather ironic that while this woman expresses sympathy towards her son on social media, she actually (behind the scenes) appears to be the perpetrator. Such evidence on video makes her seem entirely guilty.
ReplyDeleteThat's horrible! I agree that the woman does appear to be guilty. I can't believe that she was that caring on social media platforms but simultaneously had the motivation to kill her son.
