Additional information:
Partner of Dane Krukowski. Baby Roegan’s subdural bleeding and other findings originally diagnosed as SBS/AHT; state expert claimed only violent shaking could explain them. Later defence experts showed injuries were consistent with an accidental fall from a bed/couch, and that hospital timing notes did not match the prosecution’s theory; appellate court criticized the forensic basis, and charges against both parents were dismissed in 2020. Case highlighted false or misleading SBS testimony and inadequate defence.”
