The Shocking True Story Behind HBO’s The Trial of Louise Woodward
Louise Woodward’s 1997 trial for the death of eight-month-old Matthew Eappen is being revisited in HBO’s forthcoming five-part drama The Trial of Louise Woodward, starring Meghann Fahy. Woodward, a British au pair, was initially convicted of second-degree murder after prosecutors argued that Matthew had been violently shaken, but Judge Hiller Zobel reduced the conviction to involuntary manslaughter and sentenced her to the 279 days she had already served. Massachusetts’ highest court upheld that decision in 1998. The medical debate surrounding shaken baby syndrome, now generally termed abusive head trauma, has continued, with some experts later questioning whether Matthew’s injuries could have been accidental, while his parents have maintained Woodward was responsible. Woodward returned to Britain, trained in law, later taught dance, married Antony Elkes and had a daughter, while largely withdrawing from public life.
