YouTube Description
as posted by the channelLIVE: Motion for a New Trial | Shanda Vander Ark — the Michigan mother convicted in the child torture murder of her 15-year-old special needs son — is back in court fighting for a new trial.
Prosecutors said Vander Ark starved and abused her son, forcing him into ice baths and restraints, leaving him weighing just 69 lbs at the time of his death. A jury found her guilty of first-degree murder.
Now Vander Ark claims her former attorney provided ineffective assistance and made major trial decisions without her consent — including legal concessions she says she never agreed to. The judge will decide whether Vander Ark gets another chance before a jury.
⚖️ Should she get a new trial?
