Dr. Charles Smith, Pathologist

Kenneth was brought to the hospital in order to see if they could revive the young boy. Sadly, after 3 days on life support, doctors declared that there was no longer any hope for him, taking him off the machine. After he died, he was put through an autopsy to try and reveal what had truly caused his death. Dr. Charles Smith, a well-respected pathologist at the time, claimed that the boy’s ‘cause of death was asphyxia, likely the result of smothering or suffocation.’ Tammy was accused of murdering her own 2-year old son out of anger by suffocating him. But it would later be found out that Smith’s pristine reputation would be tarnished, his license actually taken away from him when increasing information would come out that while ‘Smith was trained to study disease in children. He had no training to study cases when a crime was suspected. Even worse: Smith lied, hid evidence and used junk science. He did what it took to get a conviction.’
