Help us fight for justice for Keran
Suzanne Holdsworth today saw her conviction for the murder of her neighbour's 2 year old child quashed.
Judges in the Court of Appeal have ordered a retrial after her lawyers argued that fresh evidence demonstrated that she was the victum of a "serious miscarriage of justice."
Ms Holdsworth consistently denied injuring the child and claimed he had suffered a fit as they sat watching television.
Lord Justice Toulson, quashing the conviction today said: “Having listened to the oral evidence called on both sides and evaluated it in the context of the case as a whole, we do not consider that we can safely dismiss the medical scenario advanced on the applicant’s behalf as definitely incredible.”
He also went on to say, “Conclusions of medical experts on the cause of an injury or death necessarily involve a process of deduction, that is inferring conclusions from given facts based on other knowledge and experience.
“But particular caution is needed where the scientific knowledge of the process or processes involved is or may be incomplete.”
He added: “As knowledge increases, today’s orthodoxy may become tomorrow’s outdated learning."
“Special caution is also needed where expert opinion evidence is not just relied upon as additional material to support a prosecution but is fundamental to it.”
It was the court’s view that if the fresh medical evidence had been given at trial it might reasonably have affected the jury’s decision to convict.
Lord Justice Toulson said Holdsworth’s conviction “must be judged unsafe”.
