He was only one month old when he stopped breathing in the early morning of March, by the time they got him to the hospital it was too late. His autopsy done by Charles Smith says he passed from Shaken Baby Syndrome.

I picked this article to help explain that question. Apparently this case did not stand a chance in court because Smith was "like a God" and if Dinesh wasn't so scared of what would happen if he was found guilty he probably never would have taken the plea bargain.]]> 2018-11-27 18:39:45 UTC https://padlet.com/megsk88/etajeww8dttb/wish/308456110 megsk88 https://padlet.com/megsk88/etajeww8dttb/wish/308462390 2018-11-27 18:48:47 UTC https://padlet.com/megsk88/etajeww8dttb/wish/308462390 megsk88 https://padlet.com/megsk88/etajeww8dttb/wish/308462432 19 years after taking a plea bargain Dinesh Kumar is finally acquitted of all charges in the death of his son.
