Dear Dona,
Sorry, should have explained. Louise Sullivan (Sorry, not "Woodward", as I
previously wrote - getting mixed up with a similarly themed trial in the
USA) was given a suspended sentence and sent home to Australia from the UK,
after pleading guilty to the manslaughter of the baby in her care when she
was a nanny. She shook the baby when she thought it was having a seizure.
