against a Texas babysitter 20 years after she was accused in the choking death of a toddler.
"In the case against Rosa Jimenez, it is clear that false medical testimony was used to obtain her conviction, and without that testimony under the law, she would not have been convicted," Garza said."Dismissing Ms. Jimenez's case is the right thing to do." "When we fail to seek justice and we fail to find the truth, we focus a lot on the instances on what it does to the accused, and you have suffered, but when we fail to make sure justice is done, it's not just the accused that suffers it's our whole system that suffers, including victims of tragedies and criminal acts,", according to CBS affiliate KEYE.
