Join lawyer and true crime fanatic Kate Itacy for stories about crimes allegedly committed by Warwick citizens or within Warwick city limits.

In December 2002, 19-month-old Jade Mawson died from shaken baby syndrome. Deciding who was responsible was difficult, and then, after a suspect was convicted, the case took an unexpected turn.

Trigger Warning: This episode includes discussions of a form of child abuse known as “shaken baby syndrome” or “abusive head trauma,” including descriptions of the physical and mental harm caused by the abuse. If you are triggered by discussions of child abuse, please skip this episode and tune back in to Warwick Radio Online on March 7.

Learn more about shaken baby syndrome at The Shaken Baby Alliance, the National Center on Shaken Baby Syndrome, and the American Society for the Positive Care of Children.

Katherine Itacy was born and raised in Warwick, worked as a criminal defense lawyer in the city, and remains a civil rights and criminal justice advocate.
