Heading: Additional Testimony and Evidence

Text: Pam Silcox, the mother of Amanda Silcox, testified that she took care of S.H. for the two or three days before the Defendant undertook that responsibility. She confirmed that S.H. was not involved in any kind of accident while under her care and testified that she first learned of S.H.'s injuries when her daughter, emotional and crying, telephoned her from the Children's Hospital emergency room on July 13, 2003. S.H.'s adoptive mother, who testified under the pseudonym Mrs. Foster, testified that she and her husband took physical custody of S.H. after her release from Children's Hospital. She stated that S.H. would cry in a distinctive manner when her legs were handled during diaper changing. She described her cry as indicating pain, which was markedly distinguishable from her crying when she was hungry or tired. Dr. Roberts made a diagram of the fractures, indicating the location of each, and the diagram was marked as an exhibit. X-rays were also presented as evidence.
