Washington - A US television news magazine report on the Louise Woodward case has brought a harsh response from a group of more than 70 physicians, who debunked the broadcast as "preposterous".
The 60 Minutes news show reported on Sunday that two doctors believe eight-month-old Matthew Eappen was strangled - not shaken and slammed by the British au pair as prosecutors charged. In a letter sent on Tuesday to television network CBS, the paediatricians and forensic experts said the network and the two doctors interviewed by the programme owed the parents, Sunil and Deborah Eappen, both doctors, an apology.
