CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (CLARKSVILLENOW) – A woman convicted of murdering her toddler son had her conviction overturned and sent back for a new trial after the state Court of Criminal Appeals found that she was “denied the effective assistance of counsel” because of the performance of her Clarksville attorney.
On Feb. 7, 2009, Keegan Metz, 23 months old, died from multiple blunt force trauma injuries. His parents, former soldier Joshua Starner and ex-wife Caitlyn Metz, were charged in the killing.
