The stepmother of an eight-year-old boy who died of hypothermia after being forced to sleep in a freezing garage has been convicted a few months after the dad was also sentenced for the child's murder.
Angela Pollina has been found guilty of second-degree murder and child endangerment charges in the death of her ex's son Thomas Valva who had autism.
Thomas froze to death after his father punished him for soiling himself, and both Michael Valva and Pollina were charged with second-degree murder and child endangerment.
