<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Today we share with you the story of Kylie Brantley, a beautiful little girl surviving the daily affects of Shaken Baby Syndrome. </b></span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Kylie was born a perfect little girl June 24, 2004. Coming into a world of love to her mother and father, Kylie's much awaited arrival could not come soon enough for the doting parents. On October 26, 2004, sadly just four months after she came into this world, Kylie became a victim of an extremely preventable crime. Her maternal uncle plead guilty to felony injury of a child in April of 2006. He received 10 years probation and 30 days in jail. Shattering their hearts for a lifetime, they were expected, like all the families with survivors of Shaken Baby Syndrome, to "move in" and "learn to live" again... This task is not always what one might think.. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Since her injury, they can no longer simply go to any sort of establishment without serious preparations. Kylie requires advance discussion about any change to her routine. They can not simply go to the movies as she can not see them. They can not simply go to dinner as a family as loud places and large crowds over stimulate her and cause meltdowns. Caleb cannot simply go to the grocery store with her as her meltdowns draw attention and can sometimes get them asked to leave. It is not so simple to do anything for, or with her.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Caleb Brantley, Kylie's father has one dream for Kylie. To help her achieve a full education. For her to become as strong as possible both physically and mentally. As she has gotten older and become aware of the difference between her and her peers, she has asked why and how it happened. Caleb's dream is for her to fully understand the nature of those differences and thrive regardless of them.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Life will never be as it once was.. especially when it comes to trusting others with Kylie. Caleb will never again trust someone to watch his children without a very serious talk about what his expectations are. It does not matter if they are family or not. Caleb explains what happened in full detail. Caleb only leaves his children with his mother and step mother. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Caleb is still learning to maintain and cope with what happened to Kylie. It catches him off guard sometimes as something her sister does or says reminds him of the fact that Kylie did not or can not do it still. There are many things that he feel were taken from her and as he discovers new challenges for her he is often sent right back to the place he was mentally and emotionally when she was injured.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Kylie's future will not be determined by the prognosis of her doctors. Caleb has learned that her will and determination outweigh her brain injury and that strength can be gained from watching a hero so young.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Although Kylie's mother and Caleb are no longer together, Caleb feels they have been very fortunate to find a great early childhood development program that was able to help as well as being in a position to be very involved in all therapy appointments in order to learn what to do and how to do it to insure Kylie had every opportunity to grow and develop. Occupational, Physical, Vision, and speech therapies were very frequent. They also moved to an area where a lot of them were also available through a local college in aquatic form, working with Kylie constantly.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The bravery Caleb has shown to all of us in the community of families of Shaken Baby Syndrome, is that no matter what may be, and no matter what prognosis, there is always hope, and there are always miracles. Kylie is just that, a miracle.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Thank you so much Caleb for sharing the story of your beautiful Kylie with us. Your love far outweighs any mountains you have climbed, and know you are in our thoughts daily.</span><br />

A Gretna, Louisiana woman paid to care for children in her home was reportedly arrested after doctors diagnosed one of her infant charges with <a href="http://www.keanelaw.com/practice_areas/shaken-baby-syndrome.cfm" target="_blank">shaken baby syndrome</a>, authorities said. Sherry Savois, 56, was booked Wednesday with second-degree cruelty to a juvenile, according to Deputy Chief Anthony Christiana of the Gretna Police Department.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
The case is reportedly still under investigation, but Christiana said Savois, an unlicensed child care provider, watched six or seven children at her Gretna home, 2600 block of Lafayette St., on a regular basis. The children aren't related to her, authorities said.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
In August, the mother of a 2-month-old girl noticed one of her baby's limbs was not moving when she picked her up from the house. "There was some apparent paralysis," Christiana said. The mother told investigators the girl was fine when she dropped her off at Savois' residence earlier that day.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
Doctors at a local hospital reportedly determined the girl was suffering from bleeding in her brain, Christiana said. They eventually diagnosed her with shaken baby syndrome.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
The girl's mother contacted Gretna police. Christiana said the diagnosis, the investigation, the gathering of medical documentation and meetings with the district attorney's office took some time. Detectives obtained a warrant for Savois' arrest on Oct. 15.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">
Police aren't sure whether the girl is the only victim. Investigators contacted Savois' other customers and advised the parents to have their children medically examined, Christiana said.</div>

An infant is reportedly still in intensive care, four days after police say the two-month-old boy suffered from Shaken Baby Syndrome in Alabama. </div>

Charges have been reportedly filed against the mother’s boyfriend, Ryan Allen. However investigators are concerned about the long-term consequences of the alleged abuse.</div>

Saturday afternoon, police reportedly responded as back-up with EMT’s to an apartment complex on Dickson Street where crews found the infant not breathing.</div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A 23-year-old Benjamin J. Fuller of Peoria Illinois was sentenced Friday to nine years in prison for violently shaking his 6-month-old nephew in 2011.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Benjamin J. Fuller, reportedly apologized and said he regretted hurting the infant. Fuller told Peoria County Circuit Judge Kevin Lyons he didn’t realize shaking the child could lead to problems later in life.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Fuller’s brother, John Fuller, reportedly took the stand and asked for the minimum sentence — six years — for his brother, pointing out to Lyons that his brother, while having character flaws, had a good heart.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Lyons reportedly seemed touched by the brother’s comments but noted that judges must look at the crime and sentence accordingly, not just consider what the victim in the matter wants.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In December, Benjamin Fuller reportedly pleaded guilty to one count of aggravated battery to a child as part of a deal with Peoria County prosecutors that saw lesser counts of aggravated battery and reckless conduct dismissed. The deal had a 15-year cap on any prison term. Without the deal, he would have faced up to 30 years in prison.</span></div>

A beautiful, healthy baby boy born August 8, 2010 to his mother, Gabriela Diaz, Jordan came into this world, celebrating his life just starting, surrounded by family and friends. Allegedly, Jordan was taken to a daycare center in Springfield Massachusetts March 10, 2011, ready to play for the day. Little did his mother, Gabriela know, this day would forever change their lives.</div>
<br />
The teacher, whom allegedly shook sweet Jordan is reportedly due in court for the start of the trial April 25, 2013. Gabriela has learned so much since this horrific incident, especially concerning child abuse and how often it happens, of which she was not aware of prior to Jordan's life being changed forever. She is now an advocate to ensure others know that Child Abuse and Shaken Baby Syndrome occur more than we could ever imagine, and by educating herself, she is now able to educate others on the dangers.<br />
<br />
Since March 10, 2011, coping on a moment by moment basis can be a great struggle for any parent who has a child whom is a survivor of Shaken Baby Syndrome. For Gabriela, coping means visits to see a therapist to help her work through all of the emotions of handling what has happened to her child when he was not in her care. Along with visits to a therapist, Gabriela is also maintaining by taking medications to assist with the extensive depression that settles over parents whom have walked in the "journey" of the devastation of Shaken Baby Syndrome.<br />

Life has truly changed for Gabriela, however she continues to strive to make sure Jordan achieves all that he can by not limiting him, and the possibilities the future may hold for him. Jordan has an amazing story to be told and all of the possibilities, Gabriela ensures everyone knows who Jordan is, through all of the trails and triumphs they may face, together. <br />

According to the article published online, <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; line-height: 18px;">Phoenix police reportedly arrested a man in the death of his 9-week-old daughter.</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; line-height: 18px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />Police said Gilbert Salazar Betancourt, 26, reportedly drove the baby to Tempe St. Luke's at about 9:30 p.m. on May 16. The infant then was flown to Cardon Children's Medical Center in Mesa where doctors said she had a growing hematoma to the head, rib and skull fractures, and evidence of shaken baby syndrome.<br /><br />The baby's parents reportedly could not explain the injuries.<br /><br />According to the police report, the child's mother, Jessica Garcia, had reportedly gone to work at 3 p.m. and the grandmother watched the infant until the father arrived at 6 p.m. Betancourt took the baby into a bedroom and fed her through a feeding tube due to a medical issue at birth.<br /><br />He reportedly told police he then watched television while the baby slept. When he later picked up Alexus to feed her again, she was limp and unresponsive. He placed her on the floor and provided infant CPR. He said he heard a heartbeat but she was not breathing.</span></span><div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">What a wonderful outpouring of advocacy in their community!</span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0.4em; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Kansas Children’s Service League asked for folks to knit, crochet or loom purple caps or hats to help promote the awareness of the Period of Purple Crying and Shaken Baby Syndrome Prevention.</span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0.4em; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">The Emporia Community stepped up and provided 851 purple caps, more than 12 percent of the state wide goal of 7,500 caps or hats. This is just amazing! Your efforts and talents are greatly appreciated and we look forward to doing this again next year.</span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0.4em; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">I want to especially thank the Emporia Public Library for their promotion of the event including the “Knit In” collecting just over 100 caps, Betty Pierson who donated 100 caps and Sharon Patterson who has again gone above and beyond, donating 500 caps. Thank you also to Katharine Commerford for 62 caps, Paula Roper for 24 caps, and many others who donated anywhere from 1 to 20 caps that were beautifully handcrafted just for our program. The creativity and love that was poured into each cap is just amazing and awe inspiring.</span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0.4em; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Thank you to everyone that participated and donated to our outreach efforts. A purple hat/cap along with a DVD on the Period of Purple Crying will be distributed to each baby born in Kansas through the months of November and December in an effort to educate parents on the issues of infant crying and the prevention methods for Shaken Baby Syndrome, also known as Abusive Head Trauma. Again, thank you so much for your support.</span></div>

We are truly amazed at the support that is continually given to these families, and this month, for our October Family Spotlight we bring to you a beautiful jewel, we like to call Jules.<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; line-height: 14px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Juliana D. (Jules) Thaxton was born a beautiful, beaming, healthy baby girl to her mother Jolene September 30, 2008. Little did they know their lives would forever change January 29, 2010, the last day known of injury to precious Jules by an individual we will with hold information concerning as justice is currently pending for this beautiful family.</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; line-height: 14px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: inherit;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 14px;">A hero to many, Jules can bring a smile to your face unlike any other. We have been so lucky to have met with Jules' mother and grandmother on various occasions, however her grandmother, Suzanne attended the 2010 and 2011 Shaken Baby Syndrome Candlelight Vigil held by the <a href="http://www.shakenbabysupport.com/" target="_blank">Shaken Baby Syndrome Support Network</a>.</span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 14px;">Our Family Spotlights are so very important to us, each and every single one we share with you, and this month, we were able to catch up with Suzanne, and catch up on a very heartfelt subject. How their life is today, and how they are coping.</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 14px;"><br /></span></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 14px;">The most influential thing that has been learned by this family </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 14px;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; line-height: 14px;">through this journey is that things are not always as they appear. From the betrayal of finding out the someone you trusted abused your child, to discovering the friends who rally by your side and the friends who flee your side, to learning what caring for a special needs child is all about, you realize that you cannot always judge a book by its cover. This family has learned a lot about patience, compassion, and working through disappointment. They have also learned that there really are some things that matter in life, and some things that do not matter AT ALL. Every priority changes after a tragedy of this magnitude. Today, their family isn’t worried about having the nicest things, living in the best neighborhood, or creating an environment of perfection. In fact, their daily routine of medications, therapies, seizures, and tube feeds make their home anything but normal. Their home environment will never again be ordinary, but there is plenty of love in their home. They would trade ordinary for love any day. Miss Julsie is the center of their lives, and, if you let her in and get to know her, you cannot help but be impacted by her love and strength.</span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; line-height: 14px;">You can never prepare for the trials and tribulations that come with caring for a special needs child. Each day is a struggle to balance remembering Juliana for the little girl she was born to be, and accepting her for who she is today. Juliana is as perfect as she was the day she was born, but she wasn’t supposed to have to live her life in a broken body. Her abuser stole so much from her innocent life. In many ways, your heart cannot help but break every time you look at Jules. However, Juliana is also the one person who brings healing power to their family. Juliana lives life as though no one has ever harmed her. She is happy, sweet, and positive. When you watch Juliana overcome her daily struggles with such happiness and joy, you have to have the same attitude. She inspires their family to “deal” with the cards they have been dealt. If Juliana can do this with a smile on her face, we all certainly can.</span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; line-height: 14px;">There is one big dream set out for Jules by her family. </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; line-height: 14px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">The things that are simple to most parents become huge dreams for families with children like Jules. They dream of Juliana being able to see the world around her; to be able to recognize colors, scenery and faces; of being able to take just one step; to be able to enjoy a meal that is not fed to her through a g-tube; to be able to say the word “kitty” again. These are huge dreams for their family.</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; line-height: 14px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 14px;">With so many changes, so quickly, they, as a family have bonded together on this journey. </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; line-height: 14px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">A lot of occupational, physical, and speech therapy! Suzanne spends 100% of her day caring for Juliana. Jules cannot hold her head up on her own, she cannot eat, and she is blind. She requires 24 hour a day medical care. There is also a lot of advocacy work that is being done to educate other parents about the potential results of child abuse.</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; line-height: 14px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>

Shaken Baby Syndrome is a type of inflicted traumatic brain injury that happens when a baby is violently shaken. The Rotary Clubs within District 5160 have made Child Abuse Prevention a priority. Aware parents are careful parents.</span><br />

He's responded to at least two last year. It doubled this year. The last case, the infant was severely injured.<br /><br />"A little bit of you gets left behind,” Torres told FOX23. “You remember the case you work. Some are more damaging than others."<br /><br />Studies show Shaken Baby Syndrome is one of the leading causes of children's death in Oklahoma.<br /><br />Matthew Eber, with Parent Child Center in Tulsa, says there are multiple reasons why the that abuse happens.<br /><br />"It could be drugs or alcohol,” He told FOX23. “But a catalyst can always be someone who's tired. It's the middle of the night and your baby's been crying day after day after day. You just haven't slept and you just snap."<br /><br />It's happened across the nation. 300 deaths involving a shaken baby were recorded this year. The center offers classes to help prevent those deaths.<br /><br />Eber says it happens when you least expect it.<br /><br />"It's the middle of the night someone's working three jobs,” said Eber. “The person says, "Oh, I'd never do that." Maybe they snap."<br /><br />Eber and Torres want people to know there are options for help.<br /><br />The Parent Child Center of Tulsa visits 1,500 families with newborns a month at local hospitals.<br /><br />If you'd like to speak to them with about healthy ways to soothe your infant call<br />918-599-7999 or you can visit their web site for tips at 3seconds.org.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Having a newborn, one of life’s happiest moments, can also mean a lot of stress for parents. But, a new program from Prevent Child Abuse New Jersey hopes to make the transition into parenthood a little easier.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">On Oct. 15, Saint Barnabas Medical Center will be the first hospital in New Jersey to expand its efforts with child abuse prevention, by teaching all parents who deliver there about the Period of PURPLE crying. The program aims to eliminate shaken baby syndrome and abusive head trauma in infants, by teaching parents about the properties of crying, how to safely cope with the frustrations often associated with increased crying, and how to share the information with anyone who will care for their babies.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Parents at Saint Barnabas Medical Center will receive training from a nurse about how to deal with their baby’s crying and a DVD with tips on how to keep both themselves and their babies calm. Each family will be able to take home a DVD and color brochure to share this information with other caregivers.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Following Saint Barnabas Medical Center, Newark Beth Israel Medical Center will be providing this to all families in their Maternity and Neonatal Intensive Care Units beginning Nov. 1. PCANJ hopes this project will spread to all of New Jersey’s birthing hospitals in the coming years.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">The nationally recognized Period of PURPLE crying is the newest research-based initiative brought to the Garden State by Prevent Child Abuse New Jersey. New Jersey has an estimated 9,000 substantiated cases of child abuse and neglect cases in 2010 and approximately 15% of these were physical abuse. According from data from the Administration of Children and Families Children’s Bureau, of these 2010 cases, 21% were children ages 1 and under. PCANJ is excited to partner with Saint Barnabas on this initiative which will reach approximately 6,000 babies annually because any number more than zero is too many.</span><br />

The Cowlitz County sheriff's office reportedly says an autopsy conducted Monday by the Oregon state medical examiner's office determined the death was a homicide and the child, James Childers, died of a closed head injury. The sheriff's office says help was called Friday to the home where 20-year-old Christopher Everette lives with the baby's mother. The boy had stopped breathing. He was airlifted to Oregon Health & Science University Hospital in Portland where he died Sunday.</div>

<div style="letter-spacing: 0.01em; line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0.5em; margin-right: 0.25em; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">The state Court of Appeals on Tuesday reportedly reversed a ruling that dismissed the case against Derrick Michael Allen, a Durham man who spent 12 years in prison for the murder and sexual assault of a toddler.</span></div>
<div style="letter-spacing: 0.01em; line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0.5em; margin-right: 0.25em; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">The appeals court reportedly concluded that Durham County Superior Court Judge Orlando Hudson erred when he threw out Allen’s case in 2010. Hudson had agreed with the defense's contention that the State Bureau of Investigation violated Allen’s rights by not sharing everything it found in blood tests.</span></div>
<div style="letter-spacing: 0.01em; line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0.5em; margin-right: 0.25em; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">But in his opinion, Appeals Court Judge Sam Ervin IV reportedly sided with prosecutors, who said the trial court made certain findings of fact without adequate evidence and was wrong to conclude Allen's constitutional rights were violated.</span></div>
<div style="letter-spacing: 0.01em; line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0.5em; margin-right: 0.25em; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Allen's case was reportedly among 200 cases that an outside audit said were mishandled by the SBI. The audit revealed agents failed to report correct blood evidence in the cases.</span></div>
<div style="letter-spacing: 0.01em; line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0.5em; margin-right: 0.25em; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">In his opinion Monday, Ervin reportedly emphasized that his decision should not be mistaken for an approval of how the state gathered its evidence.</span></div>
<div style="letter-spacing: 0.01em; line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0.5em; margin-right: 0.25em; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">"On the contrary, we share the trial court's displeasure with the manner in which the blood testing results were disclosed to the defendant and the manner in which aspects of the prosecution of this case have been handled," Ervin wrote. "Even so, given our inability to discern any legal basis for the sanction imposed in the trial court's order, we are obligated to reverse it."</span></div>
<div style="letter-spacing: 0.01em; line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0.5em; margin-right: 0.25em; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">The appeals court has reportedly remanded the case back to Durham County Superior Court.</span></div>
<div style="letter-spacing: 0.01em; line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0.5em; margin-right: 0.25em; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Allen is reportedly in jail in Randolph County on unrelated charges.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Allen was reportedly charged in 1998 in the death and sexual assault of his then-girlfriend's 2-year-old daughter. According to court documents, Allen was baby-sitting the child when he called 911, telling authorities the girl was unresponsive. Emergency personnel arrived to find the toddler had no pulse and what appeared to be blood on the inside leg of her sleepsuit. </span></div>
