Thomas Valva, 8, died in January 2020.
Angela Pollina was found guilty Friday of second-degree murder and child endangerment in the horrifying death of her ex-fiancé’s 8-year-old son.
At the time of the little boy’s death, Pollina, 45, was engaged to and living with Thomas’ father, former NYPD officer Michael Valva. During the emotional trial, Pollina, 45, admitted she forced Thomas and his older brother, Anthony, to sleep in the freezing garage of the twisted couple’s Center Moriches home the night before the child’s death.“I put them in the garage. It was horrible. Yes, I did … I exiled them,” she said.
While Pollina’s lawyers tried to shift the onus of Thomas’s horrific death onto his father, she confessed on the stand to deleting incriminating footage from the family’s Nest camera in an effort to protect her then-beau.Witness Tina Licari, a former piano teacher of Pollina’s daughter, also testified Pollina was prone to “vicious outbursts,” and that both she and Valva“‘That’s right because you can’t talk,’” Licari recalled Pollina screaming at the 8-year-old boy on one occasion.
