Wrongly Accused of the Death of A Child: Another Miscarriage of Justice

Stephanie Spurgeon was operating a day care in her home.

One of the children in her care died and Stephanie was convicted of manslaughter in 2008. Her sentence was 15 years. Thanks to the Innocence Project of Florida, she was released from prison, having served 8 years. The child’s death was caused by a brain hemorrhage linked to a pre-existing condition of diabetes—not Shaken Baby Syndrome.
