The appellant challenged her jury conviction for aggravated assault arising from injuries to an infant diagnosed as shaken baby syndrome, arguing several procedural errors in the conduct of the trial.
The court held that the impugned rulings concerning transcript requests, witness exclusion, disclosure of an expert report, jury note-taking, and cross-examination were all within the trial judge's discretion and disclosed no reversible error.
On sentence, both sides sought leave to appeal from a conditional sentence of two years less a day followed by three years' probation.
The court held that the sentence was within range on the exceptional facts and that the trial judge did not err in principle by imposing a conditional sentence or by setting the probationary terms.
