A clear case of "looking for the evidence that backs your chosen verdict" ? As JK says in his film - they were only looking for a conviction. Truth, innocence, the Police were not interested. And the memory of this gorgeous little boy is strained because of all this. (I'm sure you can appreciate this sort of story hits home to me given my own situation, sorry JK.)

steveimp	Again from the BBC: The court heard that Kyle suffered an eye injury in 2003 after he fell from a buggy while he was being looked after by his mother. Dr Squier told the BBC that Kyle's brain had two separate abnormalities, a congenital brain condition that can cause fits and the eye socket injury. She said: "The brain had started to push down through that fracture into the eye socket and displacing the eye. The brain was scarred. "So Kyle in fact had two abnormalities in his brain that would predispose him to having seizures. And seizures can kill."
steveimp	From BBC News: Henry Blaxland QC, for Ms Holdsworth, said doctors at her trial had "failed to diagnose" that Kyle had a "highly unusual brain" If thats true then thats a major failure of the NHS system given what I know about my own son. Ultrasound and MRI scans are excellent at showing Neurologists just what is going on inside the brain and indeed what parts are working well and not working well at all. My son's eyes are not "right" due to the eye muscles not being controlled well by his brain, but I simply cannot believe that a GP had not referred Kyle to a consultant at least.

Anyone who looks at pictures of the child can see that there was something wrong with it. I've looked into this case a bit because my own son has a congenital brain condition and it worries me that both my wife and myself could be implicated if God forbid something happens to him overnight, even more so because recently he has had some neurosurgery - I believe that the lad's eye was about to be operated on and an attempt to fix before he died.
