Although given recent history with doctors and shaken baby syndrome, caution would need heeded as sometimes, imo, doctors can see abuse where there is none. However, that doesn't seem to be the case in this.
I still believe this is a man whose nose was put out of joint by the arrival of a child he didn't want. He planned to kill it, succeeded and then put up a mental health explanation as his reason for doing it.
If he didn't want any children then why didn't he take the precaution of having the snip? I know it's not 100% fool proof but he could have also put a cap on it then the job would be done
Pengy, from what I can see the medical reports are inconclusive but do conclude that the baby was at v low risk of SIDS, so the prosecution's case is that given his months of googling and the note etc. that he murdered the poor little thing
I really don't want to do trial by internet, but, given his extensive attempts to delete his internet search history etc. etc. why would anyone do that if they didn't have something to hide
Oh.....and he clearly wasn't so 'deranged' that he didn't have the forethought to do that!
