• Norton Shores mother denied new trial in starvation death of 15-year-old son (woodtv.com) — A Norton Shores mother serving life in prison for the starvation death of her 15-year-old son has been denied a new trial, after a Muskegon County judge ruled her attorney’s strategy was reasonable and evidence of guilt overwhelming. The decision means her original conviction and sentence stand, while her older son continues serving a lengthy child abuse sentence.
