Retired officers to testify in an attempt by the defense to show there's no evidence linking Michelle Lodzinski with the death of her son
NEW BRUNSWICK -- The lawyer for a mother on trial for allegedly killing her 5-year-old son 25 years ago, is expected to put retired Sayreville police officers on the stand.
Gerald Krovatin, the defense attorney for Michelle Lodzinski, will attempt to show the jury that there is no direct evidence that links Lodzinski to the disappearance or death of her son, Timothy Wiltsey.
Krovatin is also expected to call witnesses to show that the boy's body could have floated in the Raritan River from the carnival site in Sayreville where Lodzinski reported him missing the evening of May 25, 1991, to where his skeletal remains were found 11 months later in a swampy area of Raritan Center in Edison.
Lodzinski, 48, was charged in August 2014 with her son's murder, but she was a prime suspect within weeks of reporting him missing because she gave police different statements about how he disappeared, according to testimony at the trial.
