Hugh said:oh i shall answer this one before going
i was a witness in a murder trial, where 3 babies “died” whilst in the care of their uncle and aunt - they were tried for murder but were both found not guilty, they both blamed each other.
In law you cannot send both to jail knowing that at least 1 is definitely guilty.
i was one of the 1st healthcare workers to see the baby alive and one of the last to see it before it left hospital.
whilst i worked at a big childrens hospital, we often had babies brought in, with what is termed NAI - non accidental injury - meaning it highly likely to have been deliberately done to the child.

Dandelion said:Well, that seems a bit suspect to me. Gun crime infanticide? That’s hard to believe.
And even if we’re not talking gun crime specifically, I would just like to say “Sally Clark, Angela Cannings, Trupti Patel et al”. Their children will have been counted in that. QED.
I would like to know how the odds for the “average” person have been calculated as well - what risk factors were taken into account, and are we talking arithmetic means?
