New Jersey’s top court Tuesday tossed out the conviction of a mom in the 1991 death of her 5-year-old son — one of the state’s most infamous and previously longest-running cold cases.
“After reviewing the entirety of the evidence and after giving the state the benefit of all its favorable testimony and all the favorable inferences drawn from that testimony, no reasonable jury could find beyond a reasonable doubt that Lodzinski purposefully or knowingly caused Timothy’s death,” the court wrote in its decision.
She first told investigators she left her son briefly alone to get a soda and that when she returned to where she last saw him, he was gone,Then she said she left Timothy with a woman she bumped into at the carnival and only knew by her first name through Lodzinksi’s work at a bank — then went and got a soda and by the time she returned, the pair had vanished.
Lodzinski wasn’t charged in her son’s death until August 2014 — on what would have been his 29th birthday, the outlet said. By that time, Lodzinski was living in Port St. Lucie, Fla., and had two other children. Prosecutors argue Michelle Lodzinski had dumped her son in a marshy area based on a blanket wrapped around him.The prosecution came back with the assertion that Lodzinski was a struggling young mother who felt burdened by the boy.
