Aggravated Child Abuse case is dismissed
Sep 11, 2013OUTCOME: State dismisses the charge
In the fall of 2011, my client was watching his girlfriend's 16 month old daughter. He left her on the couch to get her some juice from the kitchen. He heard a thump and a cry and found her 4-5 feet ... on the floor from where he left her. She had a spiral fracture of her left femur. The Child Protection Team Doctor said it was "non-accidental trauma" and he was arrested 3 weeks later. There were no witnesses, no evidence of abuse and no admissions of wrongdoing. In a purely circumstantial evidence case, which this was, the State must disprove every reasonable hypothesis of innocence. Once a defense expert opinion was provided contrary to the state's expert, they were forced to take another look at the lack of evidence and ultimately dismissed the charges. My client was facing 30 years in prison if convicted and is totally free today.
