Like so much else in the past year, the first two cases I’ve come across since refocusing on the shaken baby debate involve defendants of color. While any family can be the target of misguided abuse accusations, the chances go up for non-white parents and caregivers. The good news is that these cases are in the news because the courts have reconsidered.

Thank you so very much keeping this on the legal forefront. SBS is still not understood by the prosecutors, juries and judges. They indeed now changed the name to “Blunt force trauma” to encompass what law enforcement/old school physicians used to determine and “name” SBS, to include all the same symptoms that include accidents on a much larger scale. All the same problems exist with prosecutors ( and all their cronies)wanting to win, regardless of truth. Sometimes for some of those prosecutor’s (Macomb Co, Mi) and cronies other truths are uncovered. So much corruption, it will probably several more years to clean house.
