Verdict still awaited in infant death case in Lawrence
The jury of seven men and five women returns to deliberations on felony murder and child abuse charges against Steven Edwards for the February death of 21 day old Brandon. Evidence includes a video from Children's Mercy Hospital and an audio 911 call. The timing of the shaking is disputed with the state claiming 15 to 20 minutes before death while the defense suggests it could have occurred earlier. Shannon Edwards, the mother, was at home at the time.
