"A judge ruled Tuesday that he will read through hundreds of pages of documents requesting a retrial for a former teacher's aide who was convicted of killing a toddler by throwing the child to the ground. Mellissa Calusinski is currently serving a 31-year sentence for throwing a 16-month-old boy to the floor at a Lake County daycare in 2009. Calusinski's attorneys are looking to have her conviction thrown out, claiming that evidence discovered since her trial - including certain x-rays - indicates the child had pre-existing head injuries.........Calusinski's family has always maintained her innocence and said Tuesday's ruling is a step in the right direction.........Both sides are expected back in court for a status hearing on June 13."
