From Times Wire Reports
The parents of convicted au pair Louise Woodward were cleared of defrauding an appeals fund set up in their daughter’s name. British Judge John Roberts ordered jurors to find Gary and Susan Woodward innocent of defrauding the Louise Woodward and Family Trust of more than $13,500. Louise Woodward, now 22, was convicted in Massachusetts in 1997 of murdering 8-month-old Matthew Eappen, who was in her care. Her conviction was later downgraded, and she was eventually freed.
