Older rib fractures raise questions, says lawyer for Falls man

The lawyer for a Cuyahoga Falls man accused of killing his infant son told a judge Wednesday that he will ask for an independent review of the autopsy findings.
On June 16, Summit County Medical Examiner Lisa J. Kohler ruled the March death of 21/2-month-old Camryn Jakeb Wilson a homicide as a result of ''traumatic brain injury.''
Craig R. Wilson, 28, the child's father, has been held in the county jail in lieu of a $250,000 cash bond since his March 13 arrest by Cuyahoga Falls police. He is charged with murder, felonious assault and two counts of child endangering.
In addition to head injuries, the autopsy findings documented two types of rib fractures in skeletal diagrams. One type showed what was described as ''recent'' rib fractures, while the other showed nine ''older'' fractures.
Earlier this month, Wilson's lawyer, Jonathan T. Sinn, told the Beacon Journal that an independent review of the autopsy was needed because the older fractures could mean Wilson was not solely responsible for the injuries.
But until Wednesday, the defense attorney had not said anything about that issue in court.
''I certainly believe that the pre-existing injuries as defined in the autopsy report raise questions that the defense needs to address with respect to . . . when they occurred, how they occurred and who is the cause of them,'' Sinn told the court.
He said he wanted an independent review of all the infant's medical records, not just the autopsy findings.
However, at the hearing, assistant Summit County Prosecutor Jennie Shuki told the judge that Sinn has not yet filed a formal motion seeking an independent review.
Common Pleas Judge Mary F. Spicer, who is handling the case, did not rule on the issue, but told both sides it should be resolved ''expeditiously'' before the Sept. 22 trial date.
Soon after Wilson's arrest, Sinn said his client took responsibility for the child's death during interviews with Cuyahoga Falls police, saying he wanted a quick resolution to the case.
Cuyahoga Falls Police Sgt. Gary Merton Jr. has said the investigation is closed and additional arrests are not expected.
Camryn was the first area baby of the new year. He was born at 12:33 a.m. New Year's Day at Akron City Hospital.
On March 25, Camryn was pronounced dead at Akron Children's Hospital after his mother, Crystal Wilson, authorized the end of life support.
