STORY: Breaking News:"Lacey Spears guilty of second-degree murder, by reporter Lee Higgins, published by Lohud on March 2, 2105.
GIST: "Jurors on Monday convicted former Chestnut Ridge mother Lacey Spears of second-degree murder in the death of her 5-year-old son. Spears showed little reaction as the verdict was read. Her father and her sister, who were in court, held each other. A judge set her sentencing for April 8. Prosecutors had argued that there was no possible explanation for the high sodium levels that caused Garnett Spears' death other than salt deliberately introduced into his feeding tube by his mother. They said she did it for attention, and called it "nothing short of torture." The defense had contended that Spears, 27, was a doting mother being tried on sketchy evidence. Spears' lawyers suggested it was Nyack Hospital's treatment of the boy that was to blame for his death in January 23, 2014 death at Maria Fareri Children's Hospital in Valhalla"
