Dr. Charles Smith, a controversial pathologist
involved in several prominent cases
where innocent parents were charged
with killing their children,
has left the Hospital for Sick Children,
the Star has learned.
(See COMMENTS to this post for the rest of this article...)

Many innocent parents now being exonerated through the reviews of Dr. Smith's over zealous testimonies... it's not like he was incompetant - he was the HEAD of Pathology of Toronto's Sick Children's Hospital for years!!

Dr. Smith is not the only one...
it was the overly exuberant false evidence of a 'senior' pathologist that led to the wrongful charging and conviction of Darren Koehn.

To many 'experienced' pathologists, trained many decades ago, success means gaining convictions - not discovering the 'truth'... this is not CSI.
