Bulletin: Chana Al-Alas and Rohan Wray: U.K. Shaken Baby Syndrome case; Pair acquitted. defended on basis that Jayden had rickets; BBC News.

"The prosecution said the brain damage could only have been caused by the trauma of Jayden having been shaken or his head having been hit against something. But the defence said it was only after Jayden died that it was discovered he had rickets owing to an undiagnosed vitamin D deficiency in his mother. This would have caused him to have weak bones, including a weak skull, and could have caused a series of fractures. The medical condition was also blamed for complications which led to his death.
