الحكم بالاعدام لطالب سودانى قتل طفلة عمرها 3 سنوات

Quote: Dear Khalid, salam, My name is Nassir Monim Mansour, I am a senior resident in neurosurgery at university of Chicago and I have read the post in Sudaneseonline about the Sudanese student who was accused of shaking the 3 year girl in Malaysia. I wish no one criminalizes this young man by random talk online. No body, in a complicated case like this, could be hundred percent confident of what exactly happened to this poor child, putting in mine that the scientific evidence in a court system of any developing country could well be substandard. I know until a very recent time Malaysia was sending its medical students to Ireland and UK to get their basic medical degree as they did not have a medical school back there. I personally worked with hundreds of them when I did my basic surgical degree in the Royal College of Surgeons in Dublin 5 years ago. I deal with the shaking baby syndrome as a senior resident every day and night here at the south side of Chicago and I wont call my self expert but I have some basic knowledge that I learned during my years of training here and I wish to share them with you, Khalid, and the readers on Sudaneseonline. To me there are lots of questions that need to be probably and scientifically addressed by the lawyer(s) of this young man and answered by the coroner or the forensic physician who did the autopsy and I will summarize them in the followings; 1- was the subdural hematoma acute or chronic ? A chronic subdural hematoma, which is a more common finding in child with non accidental trauma than acute one, could be there for weeks or months and it does not necessitate an acute settings for occurrence of clinical deterioration. 2- The DNA ,in a case like this, is a questionable evidence as the student lives with victim in the same house, and it could well be a contaminated sample and the lawyer(s) needs to dig on the way they collected the DNA (please review Amanda Knox`s retrial 10/2011 ). 3- Was the DNA of the mother found on the child as well ? if the answer is yes then this will through the evidence in the garbage. 4- What are the other evidences against the student and can they all be equally weighted against the mother too ? 5- Were both, the student and the mother interviewed by the social service and what did they think ? The social workers in most of those cases can point to the abuser more than the police criminal evidence. 6- Did they do fundoscopy on the child to examine for retinal hemorrhage, which is a common finding with severe shaking baby syndrome ? 7- How did the coroner examined the meninges to rule out meningitis ? was it a microscopic exam or macroscopic exam ? At the end it is all in the way the lawyer(s) addresses those questions if the judge is not biased as they all do in that part of the world. Malaysia had convicted Anwar ibrahim in the past in a very dodgy and biased trial which made its legal system questionable and lack the credibility. The last thing is that his family might need to seek a legal advise or help from one of the specialized lawyers in the United States, where the shaking baby syndrome occurs most. Thank you and my heart with his family. Yours; Nassir
