Patricia Stallings was wrongly convicted of murdering her son Ryan in 1989 after tests indicated elevated levels of ethylene glycol in his blood. She was imprisoned until 1991 when her newborn son was diagnosed with Methylmalonic Acidemia (MMA), a condition that can mimic antifreeze poisoning. Experts then testified that Ryan had died of MMA as well. Stallings was released and prosecutors dropped the case. She later won a lawsuit related to Ryan's incorrect medical care.
