The information that you have read today would have moved a jury to vote “not guilty” on all counts. However, in February of 2007, while the jury did not find “premeditated murder,” the Smiths were convicted of manslaughter.
We are going to continue this legal process. We believe that mistakes were made, evidence was left out, and bias from media representation was prevalent before and during the trial. Perhaps facts could not be heard over the emotional appeals that were made by the prosecution. But we are not going to give up until the appellate process is over. We believe that the Smiths are innocent on ALL counts — we have all had much more time to look at all the evidence than the court had. Josef Jr. was diagnosed with the deadly Staph Aureus bacteria in the blood that causes death within 18 hours — case closed. The accurate diagnosis of his skin condition was Chronic Eczema and scratch marks. Quick research into this Staph bacteria lets you know how quickly it can act and how severe it can be.
The Smiths know that they are in God’s hands and that good will come from this. Their faith is an inspiration to all, even though the family is currently separated. Again, the jury simply did not get the full picture of everything that happened, and that is what the appellate process is for.
