STORY: "Arizona Justice Project frees innocent man in Shaken Baby case," by Audrey McGinn, published on November 14, 2012.
GIST: "Drayton served 10 of his 20 year sentence in prison until The Arizona
Justice Project exonerated Drayton by using the most recent research on
SBS. They contacted A.J. Mosley, the medical examiner who testified in
Witt’s 2002 trial. Mosley recanted his trial testimony by saying,
“There is now no longer consensus in the medical community that the
findings I reported in my autopsy report are reliable proof of SBS
[shaken baby syndrome] or child abuse . . .Steven had a complicated
medical history, including unexplained neurological problems. He had no
outward signs of abuse. If I were to testify today, I would state that I
believe Steven’s death was likely the result of a natural disease
process, not SBS.”"
