Brian Stewart
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For the journalist of the same name, see Brian Stewart (journalist).
Brian Stewart (b. 1966) is a phlebotomist currently serving life imprisonment for injecting of HIV-tainted blood into his son to avoid paying child support. A Missouri jury found Stewart guilty of first-degree assault in December 1998.
The prosecution's case was based entirely on circumstantial evidence, while the defense attorneys argued that the son's infection had been caused by a convicted child sexual abuser or injection drug users who had visited the boy's home. However, none of these other people tested positive for HIV.
