I filed an official complaint with the American Civil Liberties Union today. I let them know that not only are Brent's Eighth Amendment rights being violated, but that he is the victim of extreme gender bias. Even though the evidence points away from him, they are choosing to prosecute him because of his gender.
I'm also working on a press release to send to media outlets across the country. I've been doing (more) reading about "shaken baby" cases, and it's so scary how little evidence some people have been convicted on.
Even if you don't have small children of your own, just imagine that you are watching someone else's baby and he/she stops breathing. You know that you haven't done ANYTHING to hurt the baby, but you are arrested because you were the caretaker at the time. You sit in jail while the person who actually hurt the baby walks around free. Family members, babysitters, daycare workers, so many people could have their entire world ripped away from them because the symptoms of shaken baby do not usually manifest immediately:

Happy 7th birthday to my precious niece, Jenna, who has to celebrate this year without her daddy because he is wrongfully imprisoned.

Hey Jaime, I really love this picture of Brent and Jenna. It just shows the love Brent has for his kids, and clearly is not the person they are portraying him to be. I think you should post it again.
