Michael Valva Could Take Stand This Week In Murder Trial: Attorney
Michael Valva, on trial for the murder of his son Thomas, 8, could be slated to take the stand this week, attorney says.
I don't believe him for one second. This case has had me in tears from the beginning.![]()
Valva trial: Defense, prosecution present jurors with vastly different narratives during closings in Valva's murder trial
The jury is expected to begin deliberations Friday.www.newsday.com
We see children being neglected, beaten, etc., etc., until death, and this one is up there, IMO, with the worst of the worst. (I'm starting to hyper-ventilate while writing this.)I don't believe him for one second. This case has had me in tears from the beginning.
Guilty on ALL counts, THANK GOD!

Ex-cop Michael Valva, accused of killing autistic son, found guilty of murder
Michael Valva was found guilty on five charges, including second-degree murder, by a Suffolk County jury in the ex-NYPD officer's murder trial after the death of his son.abc7ny.com
She did?! I missed that there was a 3rd adult in the house!“He pinned the blame on Valva's fiancé, Angela Pollina, who was also home when Thomas died.
"It was clear from all of the evidence, a substantial evidence that she was the dictator of discipline in that household, that she controlled not only Michael but she also had a lover in that household that lived with her," LoTurco said.”
His claims of ignorance will get him nowhere. NY may not have the death penalty, but a cop in prison for torturing SA and murder of an 8 yr old boy…I don't believe him for one second. This case has had me in tears from the beginning.
So the other two boys and Thomas’ mother deserve Justice too. He should be brought up on all of those charges, and that trial should be televised. The public needs to hear the choices a cop made, the fellow cops he employed to help, and how judges and CPS were complicit in looking the other way, aiding, and unlawful due process against the mother.“He pinned the blame on Valva's fiancé, Angela Pollina, who was also home when Thomas died.
"It was clear from all of the evidence, a substantial evidence that she was the dictator of discipline in that household, that she controlled not only Michael but she also had a lover in that household that lived with her," LoTurco said.”
I find that statement laughable, A male NY cop wants the jury to believe that his fiancé was so overpowering and brainwashing that he did not have the capacity to protect his sons.“He pinned the blame on Valva's fiancé, Angela Pollina, who was also home when Thomas died.
"It was clear from all of the evidence, a substantial evidence that she was the dictator of discipline in that household, that she controlled not only Michael but she also had a lover in that household that lived with her," LoTurco said.”
The NYT article I just read said nothing about this... I mean, I guess the DA didn't need this to get her verdict, but I should think that would be a striking statement that would get a lot of ink. Was the prosecution not allowed to bring this in?When Pollina apparently walked into the garage and asked Valva what he was doing, Valva said: “I’m f–king suffocating him that’s what I’m doing,” prompting Pollina to say, “Take your hands off his mouth. There are people everywhere,” according to Newcombe.

I’d like to see how they justified keeping this trial behind closed doors without cameras.They played a video from one of the cameras inside the home that captured the audio the day Tommy was murdered. Many awful things were said including that statement.
