An article updating the status of the trial - delayed due to the storms. Also an interesting view on shaken baby syndrome. If this baby was battered, I have to think the trial would have taken place a long time ago.

Imo, the prosecution was pretty desperate and unsure of themselves to require a celebrity in court to 'support' her prosecutor friend during opening statements. The celebrities publicist had to release a press statement - that the jurors wouldn't hear?

Nasty.

Father is found guilty of manslaughter. The jury didn't spend much time deliberating the medical evidence - imo, the celebrity did that for them.

Queens Supreme Court Justice Richard Buchter imposed the maximum sentence of five to 15 years on Li. After five years, Li can apply for parole, but if his requests are denied he could serve the maximum time, according to the DA’s office...

Li had been incarcerated since 2008 awaiting his trial and that time served will count toward his sentence...

Both Lis are Chinese citizens, and once Li serves his sentence, he will likely be deported, according to a Flushing activist named Michael Chu.
