I have to look up more about Terrie Shaw and her part in this.
The Crown also called Terrie Shaw as a witness. Shaw is a midwife and nurse who, in 2012, knew the Stephans and was helping Collet prepare for a home birth.
On March 12, 2012, Shaw said she received a call from Collet, telling her that Ezekiel had fallen asleep in the bath and was sick with a cough.
When she arrived at the home, Shaw said Ezekiel was sleeping but testified she noticed no outward signs of illness.
"He looked like he was calm and comfortable and sleeping peacefully," Shaw said under cross-examination. She even checked the toddler with her stethoscope and noted he was "breathing peacefully, easily."
I'm not excusing the couple, but it probably didn't help that two days before the death that this woman, who was a nurse, seemed to think the child was fine.
although
"Shaw said she and Collet searched meningitis on the family's laptop and she advised the mother to seek a medical opinion given the concern for the boy."
what slays me is in addition to all the stupid remedies, they also discussed
"having a priesthood blessing performed."
what the hell was that supposed to do for the kid?
