STORY: "New trial dates set is shaken baby deaths case," published by Daily Herald Media on August 5, 2013.

GIST:  "Dates for a new trial have been rescheduled in the case of an Athens man convicted in the death of his four-month-old daughter. Quentin Louis, 31, was sentenced in 2006 to 20 years in prison for the March 18, 2005 death of his daughter. According to a criminal complaint, Louis admitted to investigators that he shook the child, whose death was diagnosed as the result of shaken baby syndrome.  In August 2009, Marathon County Circuit Court Judge Vincent Howard granted Louis's request for a new trial because the jury did not hear medical evidence during the trial that challenged shaken baby syndrome. A Wisconsin Appeals Court in March 2011 upheld Howard's decision.
The cause of symptoms associated with shaken baby syndrome have been disputed in recent years and several high profile shaken baby cases in Wisconsin have been challenged in court. A 15-day jury trial was originally set for Oct. 28, but has been rescheduled to begin Feb. 10, online court records show."
