Johnson claims the infant accidentally fell out of her highchair. The defense also told jurors that the prosecution's medical experts cannot prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Jasmine's fatal injuries were caused by the defendant. In fact, claimed the defense, there is evidence that Jasmine suffered a skull fracture two weeks prior to her sudden death and that someone else, perhaps the baby's parents (Travis and Crystal Miller) may have caused the injury. When Jasmine fell out of the highchair, the injury was aggravated and eventually killed her. >> This is eerie, isn't it? And it just could have happened -- hard to prove one way or the other. It will be interesting to see whether the defense will rule out a manslaughter charge.
