Prof. Owen Arthurs

Paediatric radiology expert for the prosecution

Paediatric radiologyProsecution claim1Court/official

Main contribution

Gave post-mortem radiology evidence for the Crown.

Key claim

Radiological findings were consistent with the prosecution's mechanisms (intravascular gas, air-in-stomach).

Criticism

Independent paediatric radiologists have re-read the imaging and argue the findings are more consistent with NEC, sepsis and other natural causes than with the prosecution's deliberate-harm framing.
