WE may never know exactly what led to the tragic death of a six-month-old baby in New Lambton in 2019. But on Tuesday, a Newcastle Supreme Court jury made one thing certain; he was not murdered by Jie William Smith.
Smith, now 31, was found not guilty of murder, but guilty of manslaughter over the death of the boy at his unit in Fairfield Avenue in the early hours of February 9.
