Podcasts about shaken baby syndrome

    Slam The Gavel welcomes back Connie Reguli to the podcast. Connie was last on Season 2, Episode 98, Season 3, Episode 63, 70, 77 and 89, Season 5, Episode 85. We discussed the recent ruling in New Jersey on November 20th, 2025, regarding "Shaken Baby Syndrome." Abusive Head Trauma was discussed and the question of, can CPS use Munchausen By Proxy (facticious disorder by proxy) with NO evidence and how that could be impacted by the SBS ruling.     The financial incentives are abundant in Title IV-B, D and E. Foster parents taking in children are flourishing in monies from Title IV-E. It is endless. We also talked about the film, "Never In America," directed by Ryan Matta and Connie's role in that.     Connie talked about H.R.5647, the Advocates For Families Act of 2025, sponsored by Rep. Barry Moore (R-AL-1) and how to get involved in legislation.To Reach Connie Reguli: Family Forward Project and on FB MessengerSupportshow(https://www.buymeacoffee.com/maryannpetri)Maryann Petri: dismantlingfamilycourtcorruption.comhttps://www.tiktok.com/@maryannpetriFacebook:  https://www.youtube.com/@slamthegavelpodcasthostmar5536Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/guitarpeace/Pinterest: Slam The Gavel Podcast/@guitarpeaceLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/maryann-petri-62a46b1ab/  YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/@slamthegavelpodcasthostmar5536  Twitter https://x.com/PetriMaryannEzlegalsuit.com   https://ko-fi.com/maryannpetrihttps://www.zazzle.com/store/slam_the_gavel/about*DISCLAIMER* The use of this information is at the viewer/user's own risk.

Have innocent mums and dads been jailed for a crime they never committed? That’s the question at the crux of a major new investigation into Shaken Baby Syndrome. In this episode, investigative journalist and host of the podcast ‘Diagnosing Murder’, Michael Bachelard joins us to dissect the science, flaws and potential miscarriages of justice he’s uncovered.

This Day in Legal History: Mississippi BurningOn November 21, 1964, a federal grand jury convened in Meridian, Mississippi, and indicted 19 men in connection with the murders of James Chaney, Andrew Goodman, and Michael Schwerner—three civil rights workers abducted and killed by the Ku Klux Klan during Freedom Summer. The brutal killings had shocked the nation, but Mississippi officials refused to pursue murder charges, prompting the federal government to step in. Lacking jurisdiction over homicide, federal prosecutors turned to a rarely used provision of the Reconstruction-era Civil Rights Act of 1870, charging the defendants with conspiracy to violate the victims' civil rights.This legal maneuver led to United States v. Price (1967), a pivotal Supreme Court case that affirmed the federal government's authority to prosecute state actors and private citizens working in concert to deprive others of constitutional rights. The Court unanimously held that the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment could be enforced through criminal prosecution when state officials or their proxies engaged in unlawful conduct.At trial, seven of the defendants, including a deputy sheriff, were convicted—though none received more than ten years in prison. Several of the most notorious perpetrators, including Edgar Ray Killen, evaded justice for decades. Still, the case marked one of the first successful federal efforts to hold white supremacists accountable for racial violence in the Jim Crow South.The Mississippi Burning case revealed both the limits of federal power—since murder charges were off-limits—and its emerging role as a necessary backstop when local justice systems failed. It signaled a new willingness by the Department of Justice to engage in civil rights enforcement, even in the face of deep local hostility. The grand jury's action on this day helped set legal and moral precedent for future federal interventions in civil rights cases.Google is making a final argument in federal court to avoid a forced breakup of its advertising technology business, as the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) wraps up its antitrust case. U.S. District Judge Leonie Brinkema already ruled in April that Google maintains two illegal monopolies in the ad tech space. Now the court is weighing remedies, with the DOJ and several states pushing for the sale of Google's AdX exchange, a key platform where digital ads are auctioned in real time.During an 11-day trial that began in September, the DOJ argued that only a forced divestiture would effectively curb Google's anticompetitive conduct. In response, Google contended that breaking up its ad business would be technically disruptive and harmful to customers. The company also emphasized that it would comply with less drastic remedies.The trial represents one of the most serious legal threats to Google's ad empire to date. While Google has largely avoided major penalties in previous antitrust actions, this case—and others still pending against Meta, Amazon, and Apple—could mark a turning point in federal enforcement against Big Tech.Google has pledged to appeal any adverse ruling, including Judge Brinkema's earlier decision and a separate finding in Washington that declared Google's dominance in online search and advertising unlawful. In that case, Google was not forced to sell its Chrome browser but was ordered to share more data with competitors.The outcome of this trial could have lasting implications for the structure of the digital ad industry and the future of antitrust enforcement in the tech sector.Google aims to dodge breakup of ad business as antitrust trial wraps | ReutersAs the federal government considers limiting state regulation of artificial intelligence, many U.S. states are moving in the opposite direction—introducing legislation to curb algorithmic pricing practices that may be inflating costs for consumers. These laws target the growing use of software that sets prices based on personal data, such as location, browsing history, and past purchases. Critics argue this enables businesses to charge consumers what they're perceived to be willing to pay, not a fair market rate.Former FTC Chair Lina Khan, now advising New York City's incoming administration, is helping shape efforts to leverage state authority to combat such practices. Laws already passed in New York and California prohibit algorithmic collusion in rental markets, and 19 other states are considering similar bills to restrict price-setting based on competitor data.The issue has attracted bipartisan concern. Utah Republican Tyler Clancy plans to introduce legislation aimed at giving consumers more control over the data companies collect and use to personalize prices. Advocacy groups like Consumer Reports warn that AI-driven pricing risks exacerbating inequality, allowing companies to charge different prices based on who they think the buyer is—effectively punishing certain groups of consumers.Meanwhile, President Trump is reportedly considering an executive order that would block state-level AI rules, escalating the tension between federal deregulation efforts and state-led consumer protection initiatives.US states take aim at data-driven pricing to ease consumer pain | ReutersIn a landmark decision, the New Jersey Supreme Court has become the first high court in the U.S. to ban prosecutors from introducing expert testimony that shaking alone can cause the internal injuries typically attributed to Shaken Baby Syndrome (SBS). The 6–1 ruling came in two separate child abuse cases involving fathers accused of harming their infant sons. The court held that the state failed to show sufficient scientific consensus across relevant fields, particularly from biomechanical engineering, to justify presenting SBS as a reliable diagnosis in the absence of external trauma.While SBS has long been used to explain serious injuries like brain swelling and internal bleeding in infants—forming the basis for thousands of abuse prosecutions—the court emphasized that scientific evidence must be broadly accepted and reliable, not speculative or limited to select disciplines. Pediatricians and neurologists largely support the SBS diagnosis, but the court noted that the foundational research stemmed from a 1968 whiplash study, and the biomechanics field has not confirmed that shaking alone, without head impact, can produce the injuries.One of the defendants, Darryl Nieves, had his case dismissed, while the other, Michael Cifelli, remains charged but plans to seek dismissal based on the ruling. The decision opens the door for challenges in past SBS convictions and may limit future prosecutions relying solely on SBS testimony.Justice Fabiana Pierre-Louis wrote that the door isn't permanently closed—if future research can establish consensus, such testimony may be admitted. But for now, the ruling significantly raises the bar for the use of SBS in court. Justice Rachel Wainer Apter dissented, warning that the majority gave too much weight to a single scientific field over others.New Jersey high court first in US to ban Shaken Baby Syndrome testimony | ReutersA piece I wrote for Forbes this week examined how Foreign Bank and Financial Account (FBAR) reporting enforcement has evolved into a penalty system wildly out of sync with the actual harm caused. I opened with the United States v. Saydam decision, where a dual citizen was hit with a $437,000 civil penalty for failing to file FBAR forms—even though the government's tax loss was only about $29,000. There was no fraud, no evasion, and no criminal behavior, yet the punishment looked like something reserved for offshore tax schemers. I argued that this case shows how FBAR has drifted far from its original purpose under the Bank Secrecy Act, which was aimed at serious financial crime, not routine reporting lapses.In the article, I explained how the concept of “willfulness” has morphed into something elastic enough to include recklessness or even simple inattention, giving the IRS license to impose penalties of up to 50% of an account's highest balance per year. That structure means the punishment often bears no relation to any underlying tax obligation. Saydam's case illustrates this perfectly—the government simply took his highest‑balance year, sliced it in half, spread it across the years he didn't file, and ended up with a crushing figure.I also emphasized that the people being hit hardest aren't drug traffickers or money‑launderers; they're ordinary taxpayers with overseas ties—dual citizens, immigrants, retirees—whose “wrongdoing” is usually limited to missing a form. The court's acknowledgment that FBAR penalties are indeed “fines” under the Eighth Amendment should have prompted a stronger proportionality analysis, but instead it set a very forgiving standard for the government, effectively blessing massive penalties for paperwork lapses.In my view, when penalties exceed the actual tax loss by a factor of fifteen, we're no longer talking about a compliance tool—we're talking about a punitive revenue mechanism. The system now incentivizes extracting large sums from people who pose no threat to the tax base. Saydam didn't hide money or lie about his income; he just didn't file a disclosure. Yet he now faces nearly half a million dollars in liability. As I wrote, if this is the precedent, FBAR has stopped being a transparency measure and has become a blunt instrument aimed at immigrant taxpayers.The Rise And Proliferation Of Excessive FBAR PenaltiesThis week's closing theme is by Henry Purcell.This week's closing theme comes from Purcell, the brilliant English Baroque composer often called “the Orpheus Britannicus” for the beauty and depth of his music. Born in 1659 and active during the late 17th century, Purcell's work bridged the gap between Renaissance polyphony and the emerging Baroque style, blending French elegance, Italian expressiveness, and a distinctly English sensibility. Though he died young at just 36, his influence on British music would echo for centuries.While his “Ode to Saint Cecilia”—written for the patron saint of music—is his most direct connection to November 22, the official feast day of Saint Cecilia, Purcell's music is appropriate listening for this week. His compositions often graced the St. Cecilia Day festivals held annually in London, celebrating music itself as a divine art.The Overture in G minor, which closes our episode today, is not among his ceremonial odes but showcases many of his signature strengths: tight contrapuntal writing, a dark, dignified mood, and striking harmonic shifts that feel centuries ahead of their time. The overture begins with a slow, solemn introduction before launching into a more vigorous section, where rhythmic vitality meets melodic restraint.It's a concise, powerful piece that reflects Purcell's talent for writing music that is both emotionally direct and structurally refined. Though originally composed for a larger suite or theatrical context, it stands on its own as a miniature masterwork. As the week draws to a close and Saint Cecilia's Day approaches, Purcell's music reminds us that even in constraint—of time, of scale, of form—there can be grandeur.And with that, enjoy Purcell's Overture in G minor!

Robert Roberson’s defense team presents new evidence days before his scheduled execution for shaking his baby to death in Texas, alleging that the judge who oversaw his 2003 trial had a hidden conflict of interest. An Illinois man is found guilty of killing his wife after he kicked her to death when he found texts from another man on her phone.

He is still on death row, but at least Texas can't execute him on Thursday. In January 2002, 2-year-old Nikki Curtis died from chronic double pneumonia and septic shock, which doctors had been treating. But as she clung to life, some doctors and nurses began to wonder…what if her father had actually shaken her? A doctor diagnosed Nikki with Shaken Baby Syndrome, which is now considered junk science. Still, the state of Texas plans to execute Nikki's father, Robert Roberson, III on October 16, 2025. Sign the Petition: https://innocenceproject.org/petitions/justice-for-robert-roberson/ Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/badactspodPodMoth: https://podmoth.network/Ad: The Lost Signal Podcast — https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-lost-signal-podcast/id1465964518 Episode Source List:https://lrl.texas.gov/currentissues/clips/resultsLinkclip.cfm?clipID=417836&headline=Doctors%20and%20the%20prosecutor%20say%20an%20autistic%20man%20didn%27t%20kill%20his%20child%2E%20Will%20Texas%20put%20him%20to%20death%3F https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24pdf/24a349_8m58.pdfhttps://www.supremecourt.gov/search.aspx?filename=/docket/docketfiles/html/public/22-7546.html https://www.scotusblog.com/2024/10/supreme-court-declines-to-intervene-in-robert-robersons-execution/ https://tcadp.org/2024/10/17/state-of-texas-scheduled-to-execute-robert-roberson/ https://drive.google.com/file/d/1TXLmDzEsCCKTKdQ78D3I7ziNDgXIuJo2/view https://www.tdcj.texas.gov/death_row/dr_info/robersonrobert.html https://www.themarshallproject.org/2025/10/06/robert-roberson-execution-psychopath-testhttps://innocenceproject.org/news/supporters-call-texas-officials-prevent-october-16th-execution-innocent-man/ https://www.kvue.com/article/news/local/texas/robert-robersons-scheduled-execution-rally/269-a4df632f-9045-4ae6-a92b-dcee88906f04    https://deathpenaltyinfo.org/district-judge-sets-unfortunate-new-execution-date-for-texas-prisoner-robert-roberson-despite-pending-petition-in-support-of-his-innocence-claim https://theappeal.org/robert-roberson-death-penalty-texas-shaken-baby-greg-abbott-clemency/ https://apnews.com/article/general-news-robert-roberson-capital-punishment-ken-paxton-gretchen-sween-3117443193a8ab0bd46b91803112ed4f  https://www.texastribune.org/2025/08/20/robert-roberson-texas-death-row-new-trial-petition/ 

In the September 2025 episode of 12:01: The Death Penalty in Context, DPI's managing director Anne Holsinger interviews Shaken Baby Syndrome (SBS) expert Katherine Judson. Ms. Judson is Executive Director of the Center for Integrity in Forensic Sciences and former Shaken Baby Syndrome/Abusive Head Trauma Litigation Coordinator for the Wisconsin Innocence Project. In the episode, Ms. Judson provides the history behind Shaken Baby Syndrome, and why it is now known by experts as “junk science.” She also explains how SBS was tragically used as forensic evidence to secure the capital conviction of Robert Roberson in Texas.

Robert Roberson is set to be executed by the state of Texas on October 16, 2025.   But he is innocent.  He has spent 20 years on death row, having been convicted of killing his 2 year old daughter Nikki. Robert's wrongful conviction was based on the now universally debunked theory of “shaken baby syndrome”.  But autism plays a significant role in this tragedy as well, because the powers that be misinterpreted Robert's "odd" behavior, as evidence of his guilt.       Robert's case has garnered BIPARTISAN support in the TEXAS legislature.  Even the lead detective in the case now unequivocally concludes Robert is innocent.  Lastly, a cadre of independent experts have presented unassailable evidence that Nikki's death was not a homicide. But despite all of this, the Texas Attorney General, Ken Paxton, and the governor, Greg Abbot, refuse to stop this injustice. Now, it is up to us.  Please listen to this episode, which includes two experts from the case, and then ACT. You can: 1) Call Gov. Abbot (737-277-6778) or reach out to him online and ask him to use his power to grant a 30 day reprieve to allow the courts to rule on his pending petion for a new trial; 2) Visit the innocence project and sign their petition https://innocenceproject.org/cases/robert-roberson/ 3) Show up for a rally in support of Mr. Roberson, on October 4 at 1:00pm at the Texas Capitol in Austin, TX.   ADDITIONAL LINKS:   Watch New York Times Opinion Video by former lead detective Brian Wharton here.

Texas death row inmate Robert Roberson is set to die on October 16. There is mounting evidence that Roberson's daughter, Nikki Curtis, didn't die from shaken baby syndrome but from illness. And Texas could be on the verge of executing an innocent man.

A death row inmate in Texas is scheduled to be executed in October. If that happens, it would be the first execution for shaken baby syndrome, but some call that diagnosis "junk science." We follow the case and how calling into question the legitimacy of the syndrome has thrown some doubt into the case.

Heartbreaking was the only word that could be used to describe the death of a 10-month-old baby in Perth. What was less clear cut is the question that was posed to the judge - was the baby boy’s death an accident, or was he murdered by his father? Judith Fordham has been lauded as one of Western Australia’s most high-profile criminal lawyers, but her dual expertise in law and forensics sets her apart from her colleagues. In this episode with former Crime Insider Forensics host, Kathryn Fox, hear about one of the most divisive areas in both forensic science and the law - "shaken baby syndrome". This episode references child abuse and infant loss.

Today, Hunter is joined by Dr. Julie Mack and Randy Papetti to discuss Shaken Baby Syndrome. Also known as Abusive Head Trauma, Shaken Baby Syndrome started out as an untested hypothesis meant to help parents keep their children safe. However, police and prosecutors quickly realized the power SBS had to secure convictions. Since then, dozens of people's convictions have been overturned as courts around the country realize that SBS is an unfounded, junk science that does not belong in the criminal court room.   Guests: Dr. Julie Mack, Radiologist Randy Papetti, Attorney   Resources: CATO Institute on Shaken Baby Syndrome https://www.cato.org/events/shaken-baby-syndrome-examining-evidence-shadow-execution Randy's Book on Shaken Baby Syndrome https://www.amazon.com/Forensic-Unreliability-Shaken-Baby-Syndrome/dp/0998904333 Feigned Consensus: Usurping the Law in Shaken Baby Syndrome/ Abusive Head Trauma Prosecutions https://repository.law.umich.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=3104&context=articles Swedish Study on SBS https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28130787/ Robert Roberson https://www.themarshallproject.org/2023/09/15/texas-shaken-baby-syndrome-baby-death-robert-roberson?gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAiAl4a6BhBqEiwAqvrquptUxczfL4EwGv2aXhKkzhV8LiaHBriGbcdDzCJtXwd7ypeophvb0xoCCckQAvD_BwE https://www.texastribune.org/2024/10/29/robert-roberson-shaken-baby-texas-death-row-evidence/     Contact Hunter Parnell:                                 Publicdefenseless@gmail.com  Instagram @PublicDefenselessPodcast Twitter                                                                 @PDefenselessPod www.publicdefenseless.com  Subscribe to the Patron www.patreon.com/PublicDefenselessPodcast  Donate on PayPal https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=5KW7WMJWEXTAJ Donate on Stripe https://donate.stripe.com/7sI01tb2v3dwaM8cMN Trying to find a specific part of an episode?

The polls got it wrong in 2016. They got it wrong in 2020. There are differences between what went wrong in those two election years, but how much can we trust the polls this year? What is the roll poles play now - in politics and business? Her guests this week include Danielle Vasquez, Executive Director of the National Center on Shaken Baby Syndrome, Trish Hatch, coordinator of the CASA program and Holly Richardson, Utah Policy Editor and columnist with the Deseret News. 

Last week, the nation focused on a death penalty case from Texas who was convicted of killing his child. The cause was Shaken Baby Syndrome. What is the truth of this diagnosis? What is the junk science law? KSL Newsradio's Amanda Dickson asked her guests on A Woman's View. Her guests this week include Danielle Vasquez, Executive Director of the National Center on Shaken Baby Syndrome, Trish Hatch, coordinator of the CASA program and Holly Richardson, Utah Policy Editor and columnist with the Deseret News. 

We've seen a lot of social media influencers talking about the "October Theory." That theory refers to taking stock in October instead of waiting until January, setting goals for the last months of the year, assessing progress and getting motivated. KSL Newsradio's Amanda Dickson asked her guests on A Woman's View. Her guests this week include Danielle Vasquez, Executive Director of the National Center on Shaken Baby Syndrome, Trish Hatch, coordinator of the CASA program and Holly Richardson, Utah Policy Editor and columnist with the Deseret News.

With the election a little more than a week away, are you obsessing about the outcome? We see comments every day about how the country will be utterly lost if candidate A is elected or candidate B is elected. What do you use to distract yourself from the intensity of this event none of us can control? KSL Newsradio's Amanda Dickson asked her guests on A Woman's View. Her guests this week include Danielle Vasquez, Executive Director of the National Center on Shaken Baby Syndrome, Trish Hatch, coordinator of the CASA program and Holly Richardson, Utah Policy Editor and columnist with the Deseret News. 

Colin and Russ discuss the case of Robert Roberson, who has been in prison in Texas awaiting execution after his convictions in the death of his infant daughter in 2022.  He was convicted on a shaken baby syndrome theory, which has been called into question in recent years as being junk science by researchers.   Colin and Russ discuss the new legal challenges being heard in the case and what this means for Roberson's future.  Plus a new Is This Legal and a brand new international DCOTW!  Listen here.

Well-known supporters of Robert Roberson insist that his conviction in the killing of his 2-year-old daughter was based on the now-discredited theory of Shaken-Baby Syndrome. ABC News' Jim Ryan joins us to explain:

A Texas death row inmate narrowly avoids execution in a “shaken baby” case after a last-minute intervention. Father and son have been indicted in the deadly Apalachee high school shooting in Georgia, with new charges added to the case.

Send us a textIs justice truly served when new evidence is ignored? Our latest episode challenges the integrity of the legal system as we scrutinize the controversial case of Robert Roberson, a Texas death row inmate who faces execution despite emerging evidence suggesting a wrongful conviction. With serious gaps in the initial diagnosis of Shaken Baby Syndrome, leading figures now question their past conclusions, casting doubt on the very foundation of Roberson's conviction. We explore the unsettling reality of how the justice system handles such cases, and the implications of the 2013 junk science law.The relentless pursuit of truth by the Texas Innocence Project brings into sharp focus the biases and systemic flaws that can plague legal proceedings. As they battle for a reevaluation of Roberson's case, we uncover the emotional complexities involved, including the possible misinterpretation of his autistic behavior by medical staff. With the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles upholding the execution, the discussion turns to broader themes of due process and the urgent need for reform.Amidst these heavy discussions, we offer a moment of warmth and reflection, sharing our experience of pairing a rich Alicante Boucher wine with a comforting homemade chili, as the first cold snap of the season sets in. This episode not only highlights the critical importance of pursuing truth and justice but also finds moments of solace and humanity in the face of life's injustices. Join us as we balance the weight of these vital issues with a shared commitment to truth and compassion.www.texaswineandtruecrime.com

A Texas man scheduled to be executed this evening for the death of his toddler has even a former detective on the case believing his innocence. AP correspondent Donna Warder reports.

AP correspondent Kendria LeFleur reports on a Texas execution of a man convicted in the "shaken baby" death of his daughter.

Also, Thursday evening's scheduled execution of an Anderson County man over Shaken Baby Syndrome is on hold, and a deadly shooting in Lewisville happened in the middle of the day.

Plus, no injuries were reported after a fire at an Irving apartment complex overnight, and the city of Richardson has recovered its computer network after it was targeted by hackers.

The medical diagnosis of shaken baby syndrome, or abusive head trauma (SBS/AHT), arose from a hypothesis developed in the early 1970s. Over the decades, it has led to thousands of criminal court convictions and family court determinations taking children from their parents. The National Center on Shaken Baby Syndrome claims that law enforcement authorities process at least 1,300 SBS/AHT cases per year. The diagnosis has attained iconic status within the medical specialty of child abuse pediatrics. Yet, for the past few decades, outside of the child abuse pediatrics specialty, the scientific, medical, and legal literature has been replete with challenges to the reliability of the diagnosis. With the first-in-the-nation execution of Robert Roberson based on the SBS/AHT diagnosis scheduled two weeks from now in Texas, the trustworthiness of the diagnosis is increasingly relevant. A panel of medical and forensic science experts will examine the issue in depth. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In California, a man is convicted following a disturbing series of events that culminated in the tragic death of his seven-week-old son in 2023. In Texas, a man is set to be executed, despite growing doubts about his conviction based on the now-debunked Shaken Baby Syndrome theory.

On the morning of February 19th, 2022, Cassandra Black Elk awoke to find her three-week-old daughter StarLight lifeless beside her. Police insisted the baby had died due to Shaken Baby Syndrome - and that Cassandra was responsible. “They were telling me their story,” Cassandra remembers, “that somebody did something to StarLight…somebody killed her.” Cassandra knew she hadn't hurt her baby. She asked her lawyer repeatedly - what does the autopsy report say? But by the time she got the answer, Cassandra had been convicted of having caused her daughter's death, and was already in prison.

On November 29, 2002, 7-month-old Samaisha Benson began to struggle to breathe while under the care of childcare provider Kim Hoover. After being taken to the hospital, the baby was found to have a skull fracture and bleeding on her brain and tragically passed away two days later. Doctors and authorities suspected Samaisha was a victim of Shaken Baby Syndrome. A month later, Kim was arrested and charged with murder and child abuse. “I've never hurt anyone in my life,” Kim says. “For someone to make the accusation that I could hurt a child…It takes away from who you are.” Despite evidence of prior abuse by Samaisha's father, Kim was convicted and sentenced to 15 years to life.

On October 3, 2004, in Port Huron, MI, Terry Ceasor was at home alone with his girlfriend Cheryl's 1 year old son, Brenden. Terry and Brenden had been playing a game that consisted of Terry chasing Brenden behind the couch when Terry briefly stepped away from the room to use the bathroom. After he left the room, Terry heard a loud thud and found Brenden unconscious on the living room floor.
