David Michael was killed after having been hit with a metal-studded leather belt.
His 22-year-old mother was tried at the Leeds Assizes on Saturday 30 April 1960 but acquitted after the judge upheld the submission of the defence that there was no case to go to the jury, saying that the evidence did not prove the charge of murder or the lesser charge of manslaughter.
