English nanny Louise Woodward, 19, was sentenced to life in prison after a jury convicted her of second-degree murder in the death of a Boston-area couple's 8-month-old son. The trial drew massive attention in Britain - and bitter criticism of the US justice system - because of medical testimony that Woodward was wrongly accused in the shaking-and-battering attack that prosecutors said caused the fatal injuries. Woodward's attorneys immediately launched an appeal.
