A brief description of the series, according to Discovery Press Web, states: ''The murder trial of British au pair Louise Woodward was televised live in the UK transfixing viewers and splitting public opinion about whether she was guilty or innocent. Twenty-five years later evidence is reexamined with unprecedented access to witnesses, the defense team, the prosecution, and members of the jury who decided her fate.'' Without further ado, let's take a look at what Louise Woodward did and her current whereabouts. ID s Killer Nanny Why was Louise Woodward arrested Louise Woodward is a British woman from England who later reportedly moved to the US and worked as an au pair. According to A&E, on February 4, 1997, Woodward placed a 911 call wherein she said that an infant was experiencing trouble breathing. The baby, named Matthew Eappen, was subsequently taken to the Children's Hospital in Boston and was in a state of coma. Doctors at the hospital concluded that Matthew suffered from shaken baby syndrome and suffered severe brain damage, along with a skull fracture, and bleeding at the back of his eyes and between his skull and brain. The next day, Woodward, who worked as the au pair for Matthew, was arrested after being accused of violently shaking the baby. Five days after being admitted to the hospital, Matthew passed away. The au pair was subsequently charged with first-degree murder. In the ensuing trial, which began in October 1997, the prosecution argued that the infant had been ''violently shaken,'' as per A&E.

The prosecution's side presented evidence of brain swelling, apart from a subdural hematoma and bleeding at the back of his eyes. On the other hand, the defense team came up with evidence that Matthew had suffered from blood clots three weeks before he was taken to the hospital on February 4. His wrist was also reportedly broken two weeks prior to the alleged incident. At the trial, Woodward admitted to shaking the baby but said that she was not violent. There was a massive debate regarding a word that she'd allegedly used during the investigation. She said that she'd ''popped'' the baby on the bed, which led to the police claiming that she'd dropped the baby. However, lawyers argued in court that the word ''popped'' means placing something or someone in British English.
