Swedish doctor in dock for baby euthanasia trial

Swedish doctor in dock for baby euthanasia trial: A doctor at a Swedish children's hospital went on trial Tuesday accused of an infant euthanasia killing in a case which has caused deep unease among the country's medical profession.

The case, which has received significant media coverage since the baby's death in 2009, is exceptional because legal procedures against doctors are very rare in Sweden, where malpractice cases usually go before the National Board of Health and Welfare with no criminal ramifications.
