Scheduling conflicts of witnesses and lawyers have delayed the assigning of Lacey Spears' trial until at least December, a judge ruled Thursday.
The former Rockland County mother accused of fatally poisoning her 5-year-old son appeared in front of Westchester County Court Judge Richard Molea for a brief hearing. Prosecutors and defense lawyers asked to delay the setting of a trial date due to conflicts with scheduling of witnesses and another court case one of the prosecutors is working on, Molea said.
"At this point, we're not ready to set a firm date," he said.
Lawyers agreed to meet again Dec. 11 when they have more information on their schedules and a trial date may be set.
Spears, who was handcuffed in the back, briskly strode into the courtroom where she stood between her two lawyers, returning the greeting of "good morning" one of them made to her. She also nodded and responded to Molea when he greeted her, and at the end of the hearing, when Molea told her he would see her again in December, she replied in a clear voice, "Yes, sir."
