Alan Butts to walk out of prison after a Franklin County judge granted him bond and a new trial in the 2002 death of his 2-year-old son.
The Columbus Dispatch
Franklin County Common Pleas Judge Jeffrey Brown set bond for Butts on Thursday after he issued an order in November granting Butts a new trial.Butts' murder conviction by jury hinged on the science involving abusive head trauma, also referred to as shaken baby syndrome. His defense counsel argues the science presented at Butts' trial does not hold up today.
In May, Judge Brown heard six days of testimony on Butts' motion for a new trial, including from experts in pediatric radiology, pathology and neuropathology.Brown wrote in his decision that the"shift in understanding by the medical community raises a strong probability of a different result on retrial.”
