LANSING, Mich. (AP) — The Michigan Supreme Court has upheld the murder conviction of a Williamston woman who was found guilty of killing her adopted 7-year-old son.

Lisa Holland is serving life without parole for Ricky Holland's 2005 death. Her husband is serving between 30 and 60 years after pleading guilty to second-degree murder.

Tim Holland testified his wife, now 36, struck Ricky with a hammer and had abused the boy by restraining him with ropes and not feeding him.

The high court, in an order dated Tuesday and released Wednesday, denied Lisa Holland's appeal of her conviction.
