Appeal court refuses to overturn verdict that newborn baby died due to natural causes

A Co Waterford couple have lost their appeal against the High Court’s refusal to overturn a jury’s verdict that their newborn baby died of natural causes.

His parents, Natasha Cummins and Aiden Spencer, said they were “aggrieved and upset” by the “irrational” inquest verdict delivered by a jury on September 10th, 2020.‘If I wanted to get rich, I wouldn’t be doing criminal legal aid work - I want to get paid promptly for what I do’They wanted the verdict overturned, and a new inquest ordered, due to alleged failings by the Cork City coroner in his charge to the jury.

In her judgment, delivered last November, Ms Justice Marguerite Bolger said the couple chose not to call any medical witnesses at the High Court hearing, instead relying on heart rate monitoring data from around the time of the birth. He said various propositions were put by lawyers for the couple to medical and midwifery witnesses at the inquest. However, no medical or midwifery evidence was called by their side to support these propositions.
