The prosecutors claimed that the 3 or 4 weeks of healing of the skull
fracture shown in photographs did not exist.  At worst that leaves
reasonable doubt.  The au pair was convicted because they convinced the
jurors that Matthew Eappen died as a result of a skull fracture the day he
was taken to the hospital.  He lingered for some days and they claimed the
healing (which they earlier denied existed at all) was only during that time.
