Defense Attorney Greg Willis was recently interviewed by Local News Life about the strongest evidence that could prove Danyel Smith’s innocence in the 2003 death of his infant son, Chandler. Smith was convicted under the shaken baby syndrome diagnosis but has always maintained his innocence, claiming his son’s death was due to natural causes.
Recent advancements in medical science have cast doubt on the accuracy of shaken baby syndrome as a cause of death, and Smith’s legal team is pushing for a new trial.
The Georgia Supreme Court’s decision to hear Smith’s appeal could set an important precedent for how future cases involving shaken baby syndrome are handled.
