Mathieu Habasque is the director of the documentary Presumed Guilty. The film follows several families wrongly accused of shaken baby syndrome.
In 1 in 10 cases, it is fatal, and, among the children who survive, 75% have irreversible after-effects. The High Authority for Health (HAS) reacted to this type of questioning by asking doctors to defend themselves. In other cases, no other reason can be found, and this is what leads to the heaviest sentences. This does not necessarily mean that they are guilty, but that as we do not know the child's illness, we will base ourselves on these three criteria.
