"Shaken Baby Syndrome." Why science will have to work its way past politics and religion. Phil Locke. The Wrongful Convictions Blog. Must Read.

 STORY: "SBS - Shaken baby syndrome. Politics and 'religion' vs. new science," by Phil Locke, posted on the Wrongful Convictions Blog on November 16, 2012.

 GIST: "So there you have it.  Old theories die hard.  But in the mean time, I continue to be dismayed by the number of innocent people in prison for inflicting what’s now called “abusive head trauma” on their babies when they actually did nothing at all, and whom I know are absolutely innocent.  Science will ultimately prevail, but it will first have to work its way past the politics and religion."
