STORY: The Canadian Press's compilation of "Today in History" for February 10, 2102.
GIST: (On the 2011 decision of the Ontario Court of Appeal to quash the second-degree murder conviction of Tammy Marquardt, saying the Oshawa mother had been the victim of a miscarriage of justice.)
" Marquardt, 38, spent 14 years in prison after she was convicted in 1995 of killing her toddler based in part on evidence from disgraced pathologist Dr. Charles Smith. The appeal court ordered a new trial but the Crown withdrew the charge on June 7th."
