    Woodward worked as an au pair to a baby boy named Michael, and when he suddenly stopped breathing one day she rushed him to the hospital. Later, when he died from what was diagnosed as Shaken Baby Syndrome, Woodward ended up being accused of violently shaking him and causing his injuries. This article focuses on the fact that there was so much emphasis placed on the Shaken Baby Syndrome triad of symptoms in this trial, and the overall divide in the medical world on the topic of abusive head trauma. Dr. Patrick Barnes, who testified in 1997, reveals that Woodward’s trial made him rethink what he knew about abusive head trauma. Dr. Barnes says that during the trial he “was adamant that it had to be child abuse, shaken baby syndrome (Haberman, The New York Times, September 13, 2015).” However, Barnes mentions that when the trial ended he began to rethink his stance, and that he, “is now convinced that the diagnosis has been invoked too readily in criminal cases and that other causes might explain any bleeding and brain swelling (Haberman, The New York Times, September 13, 2015).” It is clear that there could have been other causes for Michael’s injuries other than Shaken Baby Syndrome. The medical world seems to be divided in the way that some experts are convinced the triad of symptoms of Shaken Baby Syndrome can appear…
