In his opening jury address, Beresh said defence medical experts will testify the fatal injury was likely caused by the boy's self-abusive behaviour and was an "accident."

I understand that it's a defence lawyer's job to raise any defence they can, but how do they find medical people willing to tell such tales under oath?

It's stories like this that make me question how foster parents are selected.

You can never tell who's a whack-job, pedofile, etc unless they got a previous history of those. It's all just left to chance.

I don't know but I'm not sure how much weight that would carry. Its one thing to say that someone dies of blunt force trauma to the head but its an entirely different matter to say it was an accident as opposed to deliberately inflicted.

The people caring for this poor child should fry.

A sentiment I agree with whole-heartedly.

Poor kid. So sad.

An unheated concrete cell should be their first stop.

Don't forget wet clothes...
