Stephanie's Persian was a married mother of two and a licensed child care provider who had

been running a daycare facility from her home in Florida for 15 years. On August 21, 2008,

one year old Maria Harris spent her first day at Stephanie's daycare. Maria's grandmother

had picked up a sleeping Maria that day, but soon after had noticed that Maria was

unresponsive and in distress, ignoring other potential root causes and relying on the

junk science of shaken baby syndrome, doctors opined that brain bleed and swelling were

signs of child abuse, placing blame on the brand new child care provider, Stephanie's

Persian, and when Maria died seven days later, the charges were upgraded to murder.

But with the lack of external injuries, the state changed its shaken baby theory,

and cocking a new narrative in which Maria had been repeatedly struck against the soft

surface. The defense failed to pivot to this new theory, instead presenting a shaken

baby syndrome defense, and with the state's uncontested yet totally dubious soft impact

theory, the jury found Stephanie guilty of the lesser charge of manslaughter and sentenced

her to 15 years in prison. With the help of multiple innocent projects and a current candidate

for state's attorney, Stephanie was able to present the proper expert testimony. This

proved the state's ludicrous soft impact theory when a new trial would ultimately be set

free after nine long years. This is wrongful conviction.

the American government from behind the iron curtain. He had lots of enemies. He wanted to
