I don't know of a case in America where someone's serving a 31-year prison sentence for a death that was undetermined.

She had nothing to do with it. I am Melissa Kaluzinski's current attorney. She loved Ben. Ben loved her.

The new evidence was that the images that had been given to Paul DeLuca had been darkened

The skull fracture was the pivotal point. in the state's case to convince the jury it was a homicide.

She's trying so hard to be the good girl, the compliant girl. She's not equipped to deal with a situation like that.

Eric. was just indignant. He was saying whoever had done this manipulation should be held accountable. I believed after the meeting that he believed in Melissa's innocence, and he was going to try to rectify this.

That's the only evidence against her. There's nothing that tips this as being a homicide. Absolutely nothing.

No. There is no fracture. The evidence had been manipulated.

No, absolutely not. They had absolutely nothing. There's no eyewitness. There was no video. The reason Melissa Kaluzinski got charged is she confessed.

I think that his parents were misled by the daycare center about that incident.

I believe this is her best chance for freedom.

I believe he thinks in his heart that she's innocent.

What we want to do today is focus on who is this person and how did she end up in the position that she's in, convicted of the first degree murder of a child.

There is no question that the death of a child is probably the worst thing that could ever happen to a parent. But the only way that a parent gets closure is with the truth. And the truth has not come out in this case. I know that she is innocent.

We're asking them to declare that she's actually innocent and release her. We are also saying, commute her sentence.
