Bulletin: Quentin Louis: Wisconsin: Dates set for retrial in shaken baby death. Jury did not hear medical evidence during trial that challenged the syndrome. Daily Herald.


STORY: "Dates set for retrial in shaken baby death," published by the Daily Herald on January 14, 2013.

GIST: "In August 2009, Marathon County Circuit Court Judge Vincent Howard granted Louis’s request for a new trial because the jury did not hear medical evidence during the trial that challenged shaken baby syndrome. A Wisconsin Appeals Court in March 2011 upheld Howard’s decision. The cause of symptoms associated with shaken baby syndrome have been disputed in recent years and several high profile shaken baby cases in Wisconsin have been challenged in court. A 15-day jury trial has been set for Oct. 28 for Louis, who remains jailed on a $50,000 cash bond."
