[EMAIL PROTECTED] (William J. Foristal) writes:


Hi Sue,

The prosecution appealed to the court to reinstate the murder conviction
and send Woodward back to jail.  Their claim is that the judge abused his
authority by changing the verdict and sentencing her to time served.

The defense is asking for the verdict to be overturned and is claiming
the evidence did not prove that Woodward even killed the baby.  They also
claim the prosecution hid the evidence that there was a skull fracture
found in the autopsy of the baby.  If the verdict is overturned and a new
trial is conducted they will ask that the body be exhumed for further
tests.

I think the court has 120 days to make a decision.

Bill
