Summary
After a 20-year fight, Russell Maze may finally get a second chance at justice. Convicted for the death of his infant son Alex based on shaken baby syndrome—a diagnosis now widely questioned—Maze received a life sentence. But the Tennessee Supreme Court has just ordered a new review, citing a medical examiner’s changed testimony. Dr. Bruce Levy, who performed the autopsy, now says Alex’s brain showed no signs of abuse and that lesions likely resulted from a natural disease process. Prosecutors themselves admit this new evidence could lead to dismissal before trial. Maze’s lawyers are now demanding the conviction be vacated and a new trial granted, arguing the state’s own prosecutors recognize the weight of this recanted testimony.
