Rodricus Crawford; Louisiana death row. Part 15; Key document: Affidavit of Dr. Phillip Fernsten - more than 17 years of experience evaluting immunological responses to vaccines). Part of a series in anticipation of his appeal set for Wednesday (September 7)... "In summary, it is highly unlikely that Roderius Lott was fully protected against pneumonia or sepsis caused either by streptococcus pneumoniae or by a number of other pathogenic bacteria that cause these life-threatening infections in young children. There are numerous material errors in Dr. Traylor's testimony at trial regarding the children's succeptibility to pneumonia."

URGENT PETITION

A petition, set up on 'Color of Change'  by supporter Marlene Belliveau on behalf of  Rodricus Crawford's family,  implores Caddo Parish District Attorney James Stewart, "to look at the concrete evidence and facts before you. Mr Crawford did not kill his son. You have sworn to justice...it is your duty to exonerate this young man." The petition can be found at the following link. (In view of the rapidly approaching appeal - set for Wednesday September 7 - supporters should get their message to Mr. Stewart as soon as possible. HL);

PUBLISHER'S NOTE: (A): Rodricus Crawford's appeal is set for  Wednesday, September 7, 2016. It is imperative that public attention be brought to this appeal as there is a ominous danger that Louisiana will be executing an innocent father whose 1-year-old son died of  pneumonia - unless the Louisiana Supreme Court intervenes.  (Contrary to the the testimony of the pathologist testifying for the prosecution who dismissed  the medical factors as the cause of death  without a scientific basis for doing so, also gave his equally unscientific opinion that Rodricus Crawford had smothered Roderius  to death - as is demonstrated  by  forensic evidence (affidavits) filed by his lawyers which will be published later in this series.)  As will be seen over the course of the series, it didn't help that Crawford was prosecuted by the notorious Dale Cox in Caddo Parish,  which, as the Fair Punishment Project reports,  has a disproportionate number of  death sentences. I implore  whoever reads these posts to share them as widely as possible, to make sure that  Louisiana's  Supreme Court  understands the urgency of stopping  this execution in its tracks and put an end to the prosecution. This fifteenth post in the series in anticipation of  the appeal set for Wednesday (September 7, 2016) focuses on another key document; The affidavit provided to the Rodricus Crawford's lawyers by Dr. Phillip Fernsten, who has more than 17 years experience evaluating immunological responses to vaccines.

 

DOCUMENT:   "The affidavit provided to the Rodricus Crawford's lawyers by Dr. Phillip Fernsten, who has more than 17 years experience evaluating immunological responses to vaccines."

 

GIST: "Based on my review of the materials provided to me, it is my opinion that the testimony of Dr. James G. Traylor, Jr, MD, at the trial of Rodicrus Crawford, contained material errors related to my area of expertise which were left unanswered by the State and defence. These areas are listed below. (It's a long list. HL)......... "In summary, it is highly unlikely that Roderius Lott was fully protected against pneumonia or sepsis caused either by streptococcus pneumoniae  or by a number of other pathogenic bacteria that cause these life-threatening infections in young children. There are numerous  material errors in Dr. Traylor's testimony at trial regarding the children's succeptibility to pneumonia."
