This is the 4th episode of our 8-part April Child Abuse Prevention series providing access into Shaken Baby Syndrome cases from first-hand experiences. In this episode, we talk with Leigh Bishop, the former Assistant District Attorney and the Chief of the Child Fatality Unit at the Queens County District Attorney’s Office in New York. Leigh discusses her career prosecuting Abusive Head Trauma cases and how her getting out and thoroughly involved with the investigation from the very beginning played a big part of her being able to successfully prosecute cases of Abusive Head Trauma. Leigh describes how communicating with a multi-disciplinary team potentially comprised of first responders, law enforcement investigators, social services, medical staff and expert witnesses is critical to finding the truth when seeking justice for victims. Leigh takes us into the courtroom and explains her strategies in trying AHT cases and the difficulties of trying cases that rely heavily on medical evidence. Brought to you by the National Center on Shaken Baby Syndrome (NCSBS).

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
