MONROE - The attorney for Casey Shelton on Monday said the state didn't take into account other possible suspects in the 2007 death of Shelton's 2-month-old son, Christopher, and said Green County Sheriff's Department detectives "planted a seed" in the mind of the man who performed the autopsy which led to charges filed against Shelton.
