Video Casts Doubt in Case of Florida Mom Accused of Killing 5-Year-Old Son in 1991: Lawyer

Michelle Lodzinski, of Florida, was charged with killing her 5-year-old son more than 20 years ago after the boy's remains were found in central New Jersey.

The lawyer for a Florida woman charged with killing her 5-year-old son more than 20 years ago says a video could point to another assailant.

A judge is hearing pre-trial arguments Tuesday in New Brunswick in the case of Michelle Lodzinski. 

She's charged with killing Timothy Wiltsey, whose remains were found in Edison in 1992, about 11 months after his disappearance.

Lodzinski has claimed the boy vanished while they were attending a carnival in Sayreville.

Attorney Gerald Krovatin says he wants to introduce a video interview from someone who claims another man told him about killing a young boy under circumstances that are strikingly similar to Wiltsey's death.

Prosecutors immediately accused Krovatin of using the alleged video to taint the jury pool.

Lodzinski's trial is scheduled for January.
