One of New Jersey’s most notorious cold cases took another twist Tuesday, as the state Supreme Court overturned a woman's conviction in the 1991 murder of her 5-year-old son.
In May, the court split 3-3 but rejected Lodzinski’s appeal of her conviction for killing her son. But the court later conceded it made a procedural mistake by ruling on an appellate court decision that had applied an incorrect legal standard.
Lodzinski had been a suspect from the outset after she told investigators Timothy Wiltsey disappeared while they were at a carnival in Sayreville, but gave varying accounts describing strangers who could have kidnapped him.
