Story
A mommy blogger who has been charged with murdering her son appeared in a New York court on Thursday.
Lacey Spears of Chestnut Ridge, New York was in a courtroom almost a year after her son Garnett died from acute sodium poisoning.
Lacey has been accused of poisoning her son with salt, administering the fatal dose as the 5-year-old was receiving treatment in the hospital for hypernatremia - a condition that sees elevated salt levels in the blood.

Prosecutors revealed in court today that they would be bringing up a previous episode in which Garnett was suffering unusually high sodium levels, as well as some lies that Lacey may have told, calling her character into question.
The Journal News reports, 'attorneys said Garnett Spears suffered an earlier episode of high sodium levels at Children's Hospital in Alabama, presumably at the hands of his mother, Lacey Spears.'
They also intend to bring up claims that Lacey lied about being engaged to a man, who she claimed was Garnett's father, and claimed to have two other children who do not exist.
The trial is set to begin on January 26.
Lacey gained a national following online by writing about her son's numerous medical conditions.
