         <description><![CDATA[<div>Maris Shepherd who was 21-years-old had two children and was charged with “murdering” her third child on April 24, 1991.

         <description><![CDATA[1.	Who are you completing your case study on? 
   I am completing my case on Maria Shepherd

 2. Briefly summarize and explain the situation of your selected wrongly 
convicted person.

Maris Shepherd who was 21-years-old had two children and was charged with “murdering” her third child. Who was thee-and-a-half-years-old who happened to be her step-daughter, on April 24 1991.

According to Doctor Charles Smith who was a paediatric forensic pathologist at the time working for Toronto’s Hospital for Sick Children. Dr. Smith said the cause of her death was abuse, which involved blows to her head, that left a “watch-shaped mark under her scalp”.

3. Using the list from Innocence Canada surrounding causes, identify and 
explain which and how the causes contributed to the wrongful conviction in 
your case.

A doctor accused her of murder when she never did anything. Her step daughter passed of natural causes.

4. Was the wrongly convicted person awarded compensation for their situation? 
If so, how much?

I am not 100% sure, but her name was cleared after 25 years of battling

5. In your opinion, should a wrongly convicted person be awarded compensation
and comment on what you would determine is a satisfactory award (if any).

Yes they should. If you’re wrongfully convicted of a crime you did not do, you deserve to be awarded with the most

6.What did you learn about the topic that surprised you?

How long it took. 25 years is over a decade. Its insane. So hard to believe that it took that long.

7.What are you most likely to remember from this research?

How a doctor said she killed her step daughter when she never did. The doctor was looking for trouble and should not be an actual doctor
