"Shaken Baby Syndrome." Why science will have to work its way past politics and religion. Phil Locke. The Wrongful Convictions Blog. Must Read.


 STORY: "SBS - Shaken baby syndrome. Politics and 'religion' vs. new science," by Phil Locke, posted on the Wrongful Convictions Blog on November 16, 2012.

 GIST: "So there you have it.  Old theories die hard.  But in the mean time, I continue to be dismayed by the number of innocent people in prison for inflicting what’s now called “abusive head trauma” on their babies when they actually did nothing at all, and whom I know are absolutely innocent.  Science will ultimately prevail, but it will first have to work its way past the politics and religion."

The Toronto Star, my previous employer for more than twenty incredible years, has put considerable effort into exposing the harm caused by Dr. Charles Smith and his protectors - and into pushing for reform of Ontario's forensic pediatric pathology system. The Star has a "topic" section which focuses on recent stories related to Dr. Charles Smith. It can be found at:
