A NOTE FROM PUBLISHER HAROLD LEVY TO THE READERS OF THE CHARLES SMITH BLOG: Dear Readers:

I will be taking a 'seasonal break' for the next three weeks, effective today;

So I will be unable to report for you on the Jennifer Gaskin case, - a very important case Innocence Canada case - which is coming up in my absence on September 29, at the Ontario Court of Appeal, in Courtroom 2.

PUBLISHER'S NOTE:

As Marco Chown Ovid reported in the Toronto Star, "Jennifer Gaskin was convicted of manslaughter after her baby, Joeseph, died and doctors said they found evidence of shaken baby syndrome. More than a decade later, Gaskin has been allowed to appeal her conviction after a review of all shaken baby deaths identified her case as one where the evidence was “of concern.”

The review of criminal convictions in Ontario involving "shaken baby' cases was a recommendation made by Justice Stephen Goudge, in his inquiry into many of disgraced pathologist Charles Smith's abominable cases.

Since I cannot be present to report on the appeal, our readers should find extensive coverage of the Court of Appeal hearing on the Toronto Star, The Globe and mail and the CBC, at the links below.
