The murder trial for Angela Pollina, accused of letting her fiance's son sleep in a garage in below freezing temperatures before the boy died, started Monday on Long Island. McLoganTV reports.
After hundreds of of prospective jurors were dismissed for saying they couldn't be fair and impartial, opening statements began in this emotionally charged and tragic murder case. Thomas, a boy on the autism scale, was forced to sleep on the garage floor of his Center Moriches home because of bed-wetting issues. He died of hypothermia on a 19-degree day in January 2020.
"I told the jury, she's going to take the stand to own up to everything she did wrong and also explain what she didn't do. That she didn't commit the crime. That the father committed it. Mr. Valva committed it," said Matthew Tuohy, Pollina's defense attorney. The boy's teachers will testify he was eager to learn, but always cold and hungry, and that he wasn't fed breakfast because he didn't call Pollina"Mommy.
