Abstract

The article discusses how bad forensics behind shaken baby syndrome put Jeffrey Havard on death row in Mississippi. It mentions that in most shaken baby syndrome cases, prosecutors first file murder charges, then later allow defendant to plead down to a lesser charge like manslaughter. It also reveals that without DNA testing, it is impossible to overcome faulty forensic testimony.
