April 24: Joshua Mounts: Cincinnati. Major (Welcome) Development: (Nota Bene: He has protested his innocence from the outset and his attorneys said the injuries were possibly weeks old and could have been caused by previous medical trauma, including the boy’s history of episodes where he would stop breathing.) Also good news, the 3-judge appeal court which ordered a new trial because of ineffective assistance of counsel was unanimous! The appeals court has overturned his conviction on an infant's death, The Enquirer (Courts Reporter Kevin Grasha) reports, noting that: "Mounts was convicted in 2021 of felony murder, but acquitted of aggravated murder, in the death of his 7-month-old son, Jayce Fitzhugh. Jayce died in 2018 from severe brain injuries, which prosecutors said were caused by Mounts. His attorneys said the injuries were possibly weeks old and could have been caused by previous medical trauma, including the boy’s history of episodes where he would stop breathing. Both sides relied on the testimony of multiple experts who offered competing theories about how and why Jayce died."
April 22: Denver Colorado: Stephen Martinez: (Shaken Baby Syndrome): (From our enough to make one weep department): Another Noteworthy case; Denver7 Digital Content Producer Oscar Contreras) reports that this Denver man who has been serving a life sentence for almost three decades after being convicted of killing a 4-month-old baby in 1998 had his case dismissed Tuesday following new evidence presented by the Korey Wise Innocence Project that determined the infant died of severe lung disease, noting that: "Our partners at The Denver Post report that further investigation into Heather’s death showed that the baby had ruptured blood vessels in her eyes, brain bleeding and swelling. Martinez would later confess to shaking Heather and slamming her into a crib — a confession he later recanted and which his attorneys say was false. But doctors who recently reviewed Heather’s case found her lungs were severely damaged to the point that “she had almost no air,” according to a petition from the defense reviewed by the Post. Those findings could have caused the symptoms that were previously attributed to abuse, the experts told the defense."
April 22: Andrew Malkinson: UK: Wrongful eye-witness identification; Destruction of evidence and much more: Major Welcome but bitter Development: Beautifully reported by The Guardian (North of England Editor Josh Halliday); on what it calls "The rape case that became one of Britain’s greatest miscarriages of justice," in a story sub-headed "Paul Quinn’s conviction, 23 years after the attack, exposes how a victim was repeatedly failed and an innocent man wrongly jailed," - and explains why, "For Quinn, a lengthy prison term awaits. For the police, prosecutors and the CCRC, the reckoning may only just be beginning," noting that: For Quinn, a lengthy prison term awaits. For the police, prosecutors and the CCRC, the reckoning may only just be beginning."
April 23: Candy Zuleger; Trinity DNA Solutions: Bermuda: Now defunct and leaving in its wake wrongful convictions and a government crafted review process which has come under intense attack: The Royal Gazette, which has been following this debacle intensely, published a letter from former Bermuda police officer Philip Swift (DC 217 Bermuda Police, which notes that, "What is clear is that when a forensic failure requires the re-examination of hundreds of convictions, the clarity and transparency of the review process itself become central to maintaining confidence in the justice system."…"When the Privy Council identified flawed forensic evidence and prompted a review of hundreds of convictions, the expectation was that the process would reinforce confidence in the justice system. Yet where individuals must pursue court proceedings simply to obtain information about how their own case was assessed, questions naturally arise about transparency."
April 21: Kimberly Williams: Oklahoma: Technology: Flawed eyewitness identification: Limits of facial recognition software: Washington Post General Assignment Reporter Daniel Wu reports that her case, according to criminal justice experts, shows the limits of facial recognition software and how faulty tips generated by the technology can be used by both police and non-law-enforcement groups to inform arrests and charges.
