Andrew Van Buren, Steely's attorney, convinced the jury that the prematurely born babies died as a result of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) – in part, because they had come home from the hospital too soon. Steeley had testified that although she did fall asleep in bed with both of them on the nights they died, at no point was her body, bedding or clothing obstructing their airways.
