Judge tosses statements made by NJ mom charged in tot's death
Nakira Griner, 25, is charged in the death of 23-month-old Daniel Griner Jr.
BRIDGETON, N.J. - A series of statements made to police by a mother accused of killing and dismembering her toddler son cannot be used at her murder trial.
That's because a judge ruled Wednesday that Nakira Griner was not properly advised of her right protecting her from self-incrimination.
The 26-year-old Bridgeton woman initially told police in February 2019 that she had been attacked on the street and 23-month-old Daniel Griner Jr. had been abducted.
That prompted an intensive search that ended when the child's burnt remains were found the next day in the yard of her home.
