Perfectly healthy babies don't just suddenly collapse and die.

Very often, stories about abuse perpetrated against a defenseless minor are just too hard to digest.

because you were dealing with the most innocent of the innocent.

As you're well aware of, these crimes do happen.

Way too often then we would like to believe.

And the fact that these young victims cannot advocate for themselves is precisely why we thought

it might be a good reason for us to highlight some of their cases here.

One such case involving the sudden and unexplained death of a seven-month-old infant

occurred in Fayette County, Texas in July of 2016.

The investigation and resulting trial would confront issues of child abuse, parental responsibility,

and most tragically, the murder of an innocent child.

Of all the cases I prosecute, baby death cases are the ones that affect me the most.
