...parents didn't do it, who did?" With those words, Louise Woodward came out swinging in her battle with the Eappen family over the death of Baby Matthew. In what she promises will be her only interview, Woodward used the BBC's 'Panorama' program to cast herself as the Eappen's scapegoat: "There was the whole feeling that somebody had to pay and that somebody had to be me," she said.

...issue here: Can the British au pair return to England with a sentence of time served? Or should Judge Hiller Zobel's decision to impose a manslaughter verdict be overturned, and Woodward sent back to jail for the murder of baby Matthew Eappen? To solve that question, the justices have to crack a whole host of conundrums: Did the prosecution prejudice the trial by withholding details about Matthew's skull fracture, for example? Don't hold your breath for the answer -- the court has 130 days to make up its mind...
