The reality is that plain old regular parents are allowed no
experts and no defense. This is not to mention they only hire
moron "judges" who like to party wid da DCF "wine-tasting"
crew in the "courthouses" after hours. Hypocrisy and
double-standards come to mind.

PS: I did DCF's job for them I remind. Lyme is a crime and
parents can't get care for their Lyme children because of this
crime. 'In case anyone wondered exactly how retarded this
DCF crew is.

Closing Statements Made In Death Of 7-Month-Old
By CHRISTINE DEMPSEY
11:06 PM EDT, March 22, 2010
VERNON —
Did an overwhelmed working mom lose control of her temper and
violently shake her needy foster baby to death two years ago?
Or did 7-month-old Michael Brown die because he accidentally rolled
off a bed and fell 2 feet to the linoleum floor in the bedroom of the
Mansfield home of Suzanne Listro — then a state Department of Children
and Families employee — in the few seconds it took her to eject a
videotape?
A judge is about to decide. Judge William H. Bright Jr. has been
listening to testimony in Listro's manslaughter trial at Superior
Court in Rockville since Feb. 26. He expects to issue a verdict on
March 29. Listro also is charged with risk of injury to a minor.
Closing arguments were made Monday.
Prosecutor Elizabeth Leaming said that Michael Brown was "by all
accounts a happy, beautiful and healthy baby boy" who didn't like to
be left alone. She described Listro, 44, as a single mom who "juggled
alone the responsibilities of caring for a toddler," her 3-year-old
adopted son, plus those of her job even before Michael was placed with
her on May 12, 2008.
On May 19, 2008, Michael died of a "massive, bilateral subdural
hemorrhage," said Leaming, who added that the injury had "classic
signs of inflicted trauma."
After Michael was fatally injured, Leaming said, Listro picked an odd
way to inform her sister: She told her "something bad happened, but I
can't tell you [what it is]."
"The defendant lost control," she said.
But defense attorney Hope Seeley asked what motive Listro would have
to kill the baby. The 911 recording shows she was genuinely upset, she
said.
Seeley also said the chief medical examiner lacked information about
Michael's background when he ruled that his death was caused by a
blunt, traumatic head injury. She also pointed to contradictions in
the medical reports from a doctor who treated Michael that night.
Seeley said the baby might have suffered a head injury before he was
in Listro's care. A new injury, even if minor, can exacerbate an old
one that hasn't healed, causing death, she said.
She reminded the judge of testimony that in the months before Michael
died, he was cared for by a variety of people. His mother returned to
her crack cocaine habit while the baby was living with her, she said.
He also was left in a neighbor's home without a crib and with a half-
brother who lacked child-care experience. Michael's first foster mom
said that he slept for only two hours at night, and that was if he was
being held, she said.
There are no medical records for the three months between Feb. 19 and
the day of his death, she said.
Seeley also said it is possible to die from a short fall even without
a previous head injury. She cited an article about a 23-month-old who
died after falling off a playscape while her grandmother was
videotaping her.
"Has the state proven, beyond a reasonable doubt, that Suzanne Listro
recklessly shook this baby to death on May 19, 2008?" Seeley asked.
"No."
Leaming, however, quoted the testimony of a doctor, an expert witness,
that there was a "short time between injury and death."
She said the defense theory of a pre-existing condition "has no basis
with the evidence that was presented in this case."

Kathleen, Did you see where they tried setting up for the
mental case defense too?
How about the way the Prosecutor tried a stupid
trick of asserting (falsely) that a defense expert
was under investigation for perjury in their home state?
THAT stupid one by the Prosecutor
seems designed to THROW the case!
After all, the accused Suzanne M [Wrobel] Listro
IS a ""Child Protection"" caseworker
and a FOSTER CONTRACTOR.

What it looked like was that the Defense
said she sought mental health treatment
AFTER the baby died.... because after all
DCF will take your kids away if you
see a counselor.

Yeah, that would be a nasty Corrupticut
trick whether played by DCF or the
plain old regular "courts."

Hmmm. Maybe so. How interesting,
now that you mention it..

Son of a gun. I'll bet you're right.
Hmm..
Nevertheless, we, the victims of this
insane excuse for a court system,
DCF, now have artillary of all sorts
to help protect families under such
vicious attacks. What didn't happen
was the Vaccines Defense,... except now
we have the admission that the vaccines
are contaminated with animal viruses.
What's interesting too, is that the
news came out about that AFTER
this DCF trial was pretty much DONE.
I should call the slut's lawyer again
and let her know (Hope Seeley
is the lawyer).
