-----------------------------------------------------------
PUBLISHER'S VIEW: The Fifth Estate has performed an important public service by posting its important documentary "Diagnosis Murder," broadcast yesterday, on its web-site - and by posting an array of informative resource materials, including a history of shaken baby syndrome cases. (A previous Fifth Estate documentary broadcast was one of the first major exposees of the havoc being wreaked by a false God of forensic pathology named Dr. Charles Randal Smith, an unquestioning exponent of the "shaken baby syndrome.") I found myself getting angrier and angrier last night as I observed the utter unwillingness of the shaken baby zealots to even consider new research which shows their their theory is flawed - and their indifference to the suffering of all the innocent people they are willing to sacrifice in order to catch baby killers. Innocent people, ensnared by a disproved medical theory: People like Jeffrey Smith, in Ontario, and Zabeth and Paul Bayne in British Columbia, whose cases have been depicted on the show. Three people out of hundreds who may have been wrongfully accused of terrible crimes involving children over the years - with horrendous consequences to themselves and their families - because of "shaken baby syndrome," in Canada, the United States and elsewhere. Start watching (if you are fortunate enough to be in Canada) - and reading!

PUBLISHER'S NOTE: The Toronto Star, my previous employer for more than twenty incredible years, has put considerable effort into exposing the harm caused by Dr. Charles Smith and his protectors - and into pushing for reform of Ontario's forensic pediatric pathology system. The Star has a "topic" section which focuses on recent stories related to Dr. Charles Smith. It can be found at:
