Typically, squeeze-type forces that are in way excess of any normal care," Knox said,"He also had a skull fracture which definitely did not occur from birth because there was the overlying soft tissue swelling. This would have been something that would have occurred from either a direct blow to the child, so something striking his head or his head being struck into something.
