People Who Were Incarcerated For Crimes They Didn’t Commit

Tammy Marquardt Was Accused Of Suffocating Her 2-Year-Old Son

Tammy Marquardt spent almost 14 years in prison for the murder of her 2-year-old son, Kenneth Wynne. Marquardt said that she found her son entangled in bed sheets. He died three days later when he was taken off life support. Kenneth had asthma and pneumonia and was treated for seizures on numerous occasions. Pathologist Charles Smith claimed Kenneth died of asphyxia, probably due to smothering or suffocation. The theory was that the young mother was upset and suffocated Kenneth out of anger. Later, two neurologists looked at Kenneth’s medical records and determined that his unexplained death was due to an epileptic seizure.
