Even if it were an accident, the chance of hurting the baby for sure led to us almost never having the baby in the bed. However, some people and some cultures think baby in parent’s bed is either ok or mandatory, so prison for this is outrageous (unless something strange happened).

Prosecutor’s withholding exculpatory evidence has got to stop. It is part of a “win at all costs” psych that is not ok.

Double-jeopardy is often applied when a murderer gets off and he is then charged by feds for a civil rights violation or such or when a prostitution charge fails and “sex trafficking” is applied by feds. ie when the “wrong” result occurs. This is exactly the type of case that should not occur.
