SYRACUSE - A judge is setting aside an entire month for the trial of a former Weedsport woman charged with poisoning her husband in 2005 with a deadly dose of antifreeze and then trying to kill her daughter in a mock suicide and blame her for murder.
Onondaga County Judge Joseph Fahey set Dec. 1 for jury selection in the murder and attempted murder trial of Stacey Castor, 40, of Clay.
Fahey also issued an 11-page decision Thursday that police did nothing wrong in searching Castor's home the day David Castor was found dead and the day her daughter was hospitalized for treatment of a drug and alcohol overdose.
She is also a suspect in the death of her first husband, 38-year-old Michael Wallace of Weedsport. Wallace's death in January 2000 was originally attributed to natural causes. His body was exhumed after David Castor died and Wallace's death was ruled a homicide due to ingesting ethylene glycol, but no charges have been brought in that case.
