Possible Munchausen by proxy victim-investigating the death of Garnett the Great

[HairOfTheDog]

Hey Cannongal, hope you're feeling better -- good to see you posting again.

Lacey Spears' murder trial has begun.


^Yesterday in court, she cried away when prosecutors showed video of Garnett writhing and screaming in pain, surrounded by medical professionals, after he was fatally poisoned with salt.


^ Spears is seen here with her son Garrett before the fatal dose of poisoning.

The jury was also shown video of Spears taking the boy from his hospital bed to the bathroom (no cameras in there), where prosecutors say his mother used his stomach feeding tube to inject him with salt.

Spears' defense attorney, Riebling, appeared to blame the hospital in the New York suburbs near the Spearses' Chestnut Ridge home, noting it was only there that a high sodium level was detected.

The defense lawyer said the prosecution case was 'riddled with reasonable doubt.'

"Munchausen by Proxy" is barred from being mentioned in court.
