Summary
A former firefighter sentenced to 27 years for killing his 10-week-old son may finally get a new trial after a judge granted post-conviction relief — but the state is fighting back. The 2012 case, where the baby died during feeding, led to a swift 6-hour conviction based on alleged abuse. Prosecutors blamed Marrara’s frustration with the baby’s feeding struggles, citing brain hemorrhages and prior bruises. But defense attorneys countered, arguing the infant suffered from a rare viral condition — cortical venous thrombosis — that could have caused the fatal bleed. Now, the Appellate Division will decide whether to uphold the judge’s ruling, setting the stage for a dramatic legal rematch.
