A mother who spent almost 14 years in prison for killing her toddler has had her conviction quashed after Ontario's top court found flawed evidence from disgraced ex-pathologist Charles Smith helped convict her. Three Ontario Court of Appeal judges said Thursday Tammy Marquardt has been through a "tragic ordeal" and ordered a new trial. Both prosecution and defence agreed her conviction in 1995 in the death of her two-year-old son Kenneth Wynne, who had epilepsy, was faulty. |
