DETROIT — The Michigan Supreme Court overturned a 2006 murder conviction in the death of an infant in an appeal that centered on new opinions about so-called shaken baby syndrome.
An email seeking comment from the Wayne County prosecutor’s office wasn’t immediately answered Friday. But Cassin’s opinion changed in 2017 during an effort to reopen the case in Wayne County court. He said Nakita could have choked on baby formula. He noted that biomechanical scientists had demonstrated that the forces in shaking were insufficient to produce the injury.
