Scarpino, Jr. today announced that the New York State Court of Appeals, the State’s highest court, has declined to review the murder conviction of Lacey Spears, who was found guilty in 2015 in the salt poisoning death of her son, Garnett.
“I am extremely pleased that the State’s highest court has declined to review Lacey Spears’ murder conviction, thus bringing greater finality to the jury’s judgement and most importantly, justice for Garnett,” said District Attorney Scarpino.
