A medical examiner concluded that a baby’s death was a homicide, the result of his having been violently shaken.

For decades, the baby’s father has denied abusing his son. Now, the medical examiner says he made a mistake.
A medical examiner's testimony put a father behind bars for life. Now he says he 'made a mistake.'
Dr. Bruce Levy's finding that Alex Maze died of shaken baby syndrome was critical in the murder conviction of his father, Russell Maze. Decades later, Levy says he believes Maze is innocent.

Speaking ill of the dead is controversial, particularly when it was a violent death. It’s edgy; it’s sensitive; best avoided in most cases, etc.

Baselessly making another person’s murder *about yourself,* and then approving of it, is a different thing. That is delusional, narcissistic, sociopathic.

If you voted for Trump in 2024 and finally realize that he lied to get your vote and things aren't going well, it's okay to change your mind.

Write your representative in Congress and tell them how you want them to vote. Tell them how things are going. Tell them to hold Trump accountable.

Update on the progress of the Fin suite. Nearly done! Only thing left is the track/lift that will go from his bed into the equipment room/shower.

We are really appreciative of team Fin, and all those involved with the work. And super thankful it’ll be done soon!😆
