POST: "Human library book Tammy Marquardt, wrongfully convicted mom," by the CBC Community Team, published on January 18, 2013.
GIST: "Tammy Marquardt is an Ontario woman who was wrongfully imprisoned for killing her two-year-old son Kenneth based on the testimony of now-disgraced pathologist Charles Smith. Smith testified that the boy was strangled or suffocated, and Marquardt spent nearly 14 years in jail after being convicted in 1995. Her two younger sons were adopted out through Children's Aid. Years later it was determined that Kenneth most likely suffered an epileptic seizure. Now Marquardt is trying to rebuild her life. She currently lives in Toronto. This post permits readers to submit questions about Charles Smith and the Marquardt case to the CBC's Community Team - to be answered on January 26, 2013 - and links to other relevant sites.
