Happy to murder women for miscarriages and black people for sport, but wont put down actual baby killer.
Jesus, please just get out of my country.
Did anyone tell you that his daughter had recurrent health issues, and had two forms of pneumonia at the time of her death, either one of which could have caused the symptoms that the hospital thought could have indicated "shaken baby syndrome"?
No? Actually, nobody told the jury at his trial, as well. This case was a mockery of justice from the start.
Every time I look into Shaken baby syndrome I find plenty of people with real medical credentials say either it doesn't exist, or it could exist but there are other much more likely causes of death that share similar evidence. That leave plenty of doubt in my mind and thus I can never convict anyone of it.
Tell me you didn't read the article without telling me you didn't read the article. Shaken baby syndrome was fabricated by a handful of iffy doctors and has never been substantiated. Child abuse prosecutors have clung to it and propped it up because it makes for (inaccurate) open and shut convictions. Very few symptoms in the medical field are as cut and dry as what SBS claims is true.
Bad take. Maybe read about the specifics of this case before making such a bold claim. I believe even the arresting officer is haunted by basically ending this man's life
Precisely, this isn't a "we might have new evidence to prove his innocence", it's a "the accuser is having second thoughts".
It's just a delay of the inevitable, there's zero chance it doesn't go through.
Capital punishment is barbaric. Would you please just get out of my country.
